| 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. |
