Civil Engineering

Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Introduction: Civil engineers plan, design, and supervise construction of many essential facilities and structures such as bridges, dams, interstate highways, and buildings. Service to the community, its development and improvement are fundamental aspects of a civil engineering career. Civil engineers are problem solvers and applying the latest in high-tech equipment and sophisticated procedures to address challenges concerning our environment and infrastructure. Included in the study of civil engineering are courses in environmental engineering that are directly related to the solution of hazardous waste and pollution problems, to providing potable and economical water supply systems, and to maintaining a safe environment. Water resources engineering is related to hydraulic and hydrologic engineering, flood control, rainfall, and runoff prediction and the transport in flows. Studies in geotechnical engineering address the bearing capacities of soils, settlement of foundations, and the design of both deep and shallow foundations. Courses in structural analysis and design are directed toward providing reliable and economical structures such as bridges, buildings, port facilities, and dam facilities. Transportation engineering involves the movement of people and car-go from place to place, the design of airports and highways, and traffic studies to maintain efficient flows. Courses in construction engineering include studies in construction techniques; cost estimating, quality control/ quality assurance, and contract administration. Materials engineering involves the production, quality control, use, and property analysis of construction materials such as asphalt, concrete, aggregate, wood, masonry, and steel. Civil engineering is a broad field. Because of this breadth, courses are required in each of the above areas. Although you, as a civil engineer, may specialize within a given area, by the very nature of the profession you will be required to interact with specialists in the other areas. You also may find that you will work with engineers in other disciplines such as mechanical, electrical, or geological engineering in the planning, design, and construction of complex facilities. Civil engineers also must be effective in communicating with the public.
