Explanation of Requirements
1. Students are assisted by faculty advisors in developing an
elective program to meet their individual needs within the
University's general education requirements. While most of the
general education requirements are automatically met with a civil
engineering degree, a student is required to select an additional
15 credit hours of electives to help meet the 18 credit hour
"Human Values and Social Context" requirement (the required CMJ
103 satisfies the other three credit hours),
2. General education requirements mandate two writing intensive
courses. CIE 225 and CIE 366 are designated as writing intensive
courses within the CIE major, while ECP 411 meets the outside the
major writing intensive course. NOTE: CIE 225 must be taken
concurrently with ECP 225 and CIE 366 must be taken concurrently
with ECP 366 for CIE 225 and CIE 366 to count as writing intensive
courses.
3. Civil Engineering and technical electives must be a minimum
of 21 credit hours with no more than two technical elective
courses. Civil engineering electives are advanced (400 or 500
level) civil engineering courses. The technical elective is an
advanced Civil Engineering course or CIE 394 Civil Engineering
Practice or other advanced level engineering, science, or
mathematics course relevant to Civil Engineering. In addition,
either ERS 101 Intro. to Geology or BIO 100 Basic Biology can be
taken as the technical elective.
4. It is required that students take a second course in three
of the four areas (transportation, environmental/water resources,
geotechnical, structures) to ensure the breadth required by most
civil engineers.
5. Three credits of approved engineering science electives,
usually in mechanical or electrical engineering, are required. Civil Engineering courses cannot be used for these three specific
credit hours. Typical courses taken are:
- MEE 230 Thermodynamics I
- MEE 270 Dynamics
- ECE 209 Electrical Networks I
6. CIE 412 and CIE 413 must be taken in the Fall semester
immediately preceding CIE 411.
7. Courses that will satisfy the Approved Science Elective are:
BIO 100 Basic Biology, ERS 101 Introduction to Geology and CHY
122/124 The Molecular Basis of Chemical Change
8. Students are required to take the FE review course in the
Fall Semester of their senior year unless they have already passed
the FE exam.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Sixteen credit hours of engineering design courses are
required. Eleven hours are earned in the required courses. At
least five additional design hours must be included in the
electives selected by the student. The College of Engineering
only allows seniors whose "advancement in the field will permit
their taking a graduate level course among graduate students
without disadvantage to themselves" to take 500-level courses. The design content of CIE electives are as follows:
