Mission Statement

The mission of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is

1. to provide a quality educational experience for all students, both undergraduate and graduate, at the level of the top ranked universities in the nation;

2. to develop new knowledge, processes, or procedures through research which will benefit mankind; and

3. to provide service through professional activities.

Undergraduate Program, Vision and Guiding Principles

The Department will provide our undergraduate students with a strong, broad-based, engineering education which gives them the basic intellectual and organization skills that allow them to work with complex systems with technological, social, and environmental components. 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. The curriculum is designed to encourage lifelong learning and to prepare students for undertaking advanced studies in engineering or in other professional areas.

Undergraduate Educational Objectives

1. The Department will provide undergraduate students with the strong technical education needed for a career in civil engineering.

2. The Department will provide undergraduate students with an eduction that prepares them to perform effectively in the workplace with the communication skills needed to deal with co-workers, clients, and the public.

3. The Department will provide undergraduate students with an education that allows them to understand the societal implications of engineering decisions and designs in both a local and global context and the ethical training to evaluate those implications.

4. The Department will provide undergraduate students with an education that promotes the full and continuing development of their potential as engineers and effective members of society.

Concentrations

In addition to designated common coursework in engineering mechanics, civil, and environmental engineering, students undertake a concentration of 9 hours of coursework plus a 3-hour capstone design course in one of the following areas: environmental engineering, water resources, structures, materials, geotechnical with emphasis on structures, geotechnical with emphasis on transportation, and transportation.

Departmental Policies

In addition to the College's graduation requirements, the Department has the following policies:

1. Mandatory academic advising of each student each term,

2. Exit Interviews as a graduation requirement for all students;

   and

3. Only 2 "D" grades in engineering courses can be used to fulfill graduation requirements.

Four-Year Curriculum - Civil Engineering

Prerequisites (State Mandated Common Prerequisites) for Students Transferring from a Community College:

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:

Communications:

• ENC 1101/1102 Composition I and II (6)
