Civil Engineering involves the design and construction of systems
necessary for our modern society to function. It encompasses many
technical specialities whose focus is the design of large, normally
one-of-a-kind, facilities such as bridges, buildings, tunnels, highways,
dams, waterways, airports, flood control systems, coastal protection
systems, water supply networks, and waste treatment plants. As our
society expands, challenging opportunities will continue to be available
for Civil Engineers practicing in their own private firms, in large
companies, or in governmental agencies.
The Civil Engineering program objectives are:
- To provide students with a balanced and broad
based educational program which spans the subdisciplines of civil
engineering and is built upon a strong foundation in science and
mathematics as well as engineering fundamentals.
- To provide students with a practical education
and experience in the essentials of engineering design including
the civil engineer’s role as a participant in a team environment.
- To provide a comprehensive educational program
for graduates entering the civil engineering profession and at the
same time offer the necessary rigorous foundation program for those
who will pursue graduate work.
- To instill in all students the techniques and
motivation for career-long continuing education and technical development.
The curriculum builds on a strong base in mathematics, physical sciences,
engineering sciences, and humanities developed primarily during the
Freshman and Sophomore years. During the Junior year, students develop
an understanding of the fundamentals of each area of Civil Engineering.
The specialty areas include:
- Environmental Engineering
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Structural Engineering
- Transportation Engineering
- Water Resources and Coastal Engineering
The senior year focuses on design, construction and the integration
of more advanced knowledge in civil engineering. A comprehensive project
with students participating in a design team prepares them to enter
professional practice.
Satisfactory completion of the 132-hour program outlined below leads
to a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. Students must also
comply with the College of Engineering Requirements for a Degree which
are covered in this Bulletin under College of Engineering.
The Bachelor of Science program in Civil Engineering is accredited
by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board
for Engineering and Technology, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore,
MD 21202-4012, telephone: (410) 347-7700.
