The civil engineering plan of study creates the framework to develop a student’s knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for entry into the practice of civil engineering at the professional level. Foundation courses in the STEM core include advanced mathematics and basics sciences (chemistry and physics), complemented with general education courses. Civil Engineering core courses include solid mechanics, fluid mechanics and hydrology, topics in construction engineering, structural theory, soil mechanics, water and wastewater treatment, sustainability, and engineering economics. Project-based learning activities are threaded though the curriculum from ‘start to finish’ in the design sequence, which includes a common first year hackathon experience, then discipline-specific lab and project experiences in the 2nd and 3rd year, and culminating in the final year with a multidisciplinary industry-sponsored capstone design experience. Students have elective choices including advanced courses in complementary engineering disciples of mechanical, electrical, computer and environmental engineering. Internships are required and preparation for the FE (Fundamentals of Engineering) exam is strongly encouraged.
