USF 2000-2001 Undergraduate Catalog - Pages 156 - 158
The mission of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is
A component of the Department’s education mission is providing our undergraduate students a strong, broad-based, engineering education while giving them adequate training for careers in industry and government. To achieve this mission, the Department attempts to give our students the basic intellectual and organization skills that allow them to work with complex systems with technological, social and environmental components. Thus, the Department’s curriculum is designed to provide a strong background in mathematics, science, and the fundamentals of engineering, as well as an appreciation for the larger social and ethical context of integrated systems. As many of our students begin work upon graduation in industry or with governmental organizations, the curriculum is designed to prepare our students for these roles by requiring a number of courses in the various fields of civil engineering and by providing limited specialization in one given area. An undergraduate education is but the first stage in a life-long learning process. The curricula is designed to further this concept and to prepare students for undertaking advanced studies in engineering or in other professional schools.
It is the mission of the Department to have faculty deal with society’s pressing problems by influencing the directions of the profession and the plans and actions of the nation, regions, and communities. This mission is accomplished by
Students pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering program take designated engineering mechanics, civil engineering, and environmental engineering coursework as well as courses from one of the following areas of concentration:
As a culminating design experience, all students take a Capstone design course relevant to their respective areas of concentration.
In addition to the College's graduation requirements, the department has the following policies:
The schedule which follows indicates how a serious, well prepared student who can devote full time to coursework can satisfy degree requirements in four academic years. Students without a solid foundation and those who cannot devote full time to academics should plan on a slower pace.
Courses indicated with XXXX had not yet been assigned a number when the catalog went to print. See your academic advisor for additional information.
If a student wishes to transfer without an A.A. degree and has fewer than 60 semester hours of acceptable credit, the student must meet the university’s entering freshman requirements including ACT or SAT test scores, GPA, and course requirements.
Students should complete the following prerequisite courses listed below at the lower level prior to entering the University. If these courses are not taken at the community college, they must be completed before the degree is granted. Unless stated otherwise, a grade of “C” is the minimum acceptable grade.
Some courses required for the major may also meet General Education Requirements thereby transferring maximum hours to the university. The following are transferable courses from the Community College that will be accepted in the Math/Science/Engineering areas:
