Introduction

The primary goal of the Civil and Environmental Engineering department’s degree program is to provide students with the educational background and tools required for them to excel in their intended profession in Civil Engineering. The areas of focus in the civil engineering program are structural, geotechnical, hydraulic, environmental, construction, transportation and architectural engineering. Most course topics are well integrated with computer-aided analysis and design tools.

The undergraduate engineering program is designed to impart knowledge of mathematics and natural sciences to students so that they learn to use the forces of nature and materials economically, while maintaining engineering ethics and high professional standards.

One of the major objectives of this program is to provide design experience to students gradually from the very beginning years until they graduate, through a variety of courses. During this time, they also learn about safety, reliability, ethics, and socially and globally sensitive problems.

The graduate engineering program is designed for specialization in the areas (also called tracks) of construction, environmental, geotechnical and structural engineering.

Learning Goals and Student Learning Outcomes

High School Preparation

The entering freshman’s preparation should include two years of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and one year of physics or chemistry. Students deficient in mathematics or chemistry must take special preparatory courses, which will not carry credit for the major. (See Mathematics Section  for Entry Level Mathematics test and Math-Science Qualifying Examination requirements)

Transfer Students

A transfer student shall complete a minimum of 30 units in residence, 15 of which shall be taken in upper-division engineering courses. Work taken at another college or university on which a “D” (1.0) was earned may not be substituted for upper-division courses.
