USF 1997-98 Undergraduate Catalog - Pages 113 - 115 | Course Descriptions |
Students pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering program take designated engineering mechanics, civil engineering, and environmental engineering course work. This course work is supplemented by electives and courses m one of the following areas of concentration:
As a culminating design experience, all students take a Capstone design course in their respective areas of concentration.
Students completing the program may enter the professor as engineers in the civil, structural, geotechnical, transportation, water resources, environmental, hydraulics, or materials discipline. All of these disciplines share the need for knowledge in the areas of engineering mechanics, civil engineering, material science, and environmental engineering. Through choice of the proper area of concentration, a student has the opportunity to channel academic studies specifically towards his/her career choice.
Graduates of the program may commence their engineering careers in either industry, in engineering consulting firms, or in public service at the federal, state, or local level. Initial assignments may include planning, design and implementation of water resources systems; planning and design of transportation and housing systems; regional planning, design, and management for abatement of air, water, and solid waste pollution problems; design of bridges and 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.
