The Bachelor of Science in Civil and Construction Engineering combines the principles of both civil engineering and construction engineering. The unique program focuses on structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering. The program also exposes students to materials engineering, water resources engineering, highway engineering, and surveying.
Graduates will be prepared for successful engineering or management careers in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry or related fields.
Program graduates must pass the NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Associate Constructor (AC) Certification exams which will prepare them to quickly become certified Engineering Interns (EI) and Associate Constructors (AC), making them very desirable to employers.
Along with passing the FE and AC exams, students must achieve a 2.00 GPA in all required civil and construction engineering courses. Students must also complete 800 hours of work experience in an approved construction-related activity. This provides students with valuable experience. Student organization volunteer hours can count toward the requirement.
Program Educational Objectives
- Rapidly become certified Engineer Interns (EI) and Associate Constructors (AC) employed in architecture, engineering, construction, or related fields or pursuing graduate or professional education in engineering, business, law, architecture, etc.
- Become licensed Professional Engineers (PE) and/or Certified Professional Constructors (CPC) after gaining the required professional experience and the requisite knowledge to pass the licensing and/or certification exams.
- Engage in lifelong learning, through on-the-job training, participation in professional societies, additional formal education, continuing education and professional development, research, and self-study, in order to use state-of-the-art knowledge to design and build safe and effective buildings and infrastructure and/or provide high quality service to the general public, employers, clients, and other professionals.
