USF 1996-97 Undergraduate Catalog - Pages 113 - 115 | Course Descriptions |
Students pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering program take designated traditional civil engineering and engineering mechanics coursework in solid mechanics, stress analysis, structures, materials, hydraulics, geotechnical, transportation, and engineering analysis. This coursework is supplemented by courses in one of the following areas of concentration, plus electives.
Students completing this option enter careers as engineers in the civil, structural, geotechnical, transportation and water resources, environmental, hydraulics, materials, disciplines. All of these fields share the need for knowledge in the areas of engineering mechanics, civil engineering, and materials science. Through choice of the proper area of concentration the student has the opportunity to channel academic studies specifically towards his/her career choice. Civil Engineering students commence their engineering careers in either industry, in engineering consulting firms, or in public service at the federal, state or local level. Initial assignments include planning, design and implementation of water resources, transportation and housing systems; regional planning, design and management for abatement of air, water, and solid waste pollution problems; design of bridges, single and multistory structures; and supervision of construction projects.
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.
An additional graduation requirement is that graduating seniors must take the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination.
