What is Civil Engineering
Civil Engineering is about community service, development and improvement. It involves the conception, planning, design, construction, and operation of facilities essential to modern life, ranging from transit systems to offshore structures to space satellites.
Civil engineers are problem solvers, meeting the challenges of pollution, traffic congestion, drinking water and energy needs, urban redevelopment and community planning.
Civil engineers apply their knowledge to tackle such diverse fields as mass transportation, smart structures, environmental engineering, and urban planning for sustainability.
It is a major favorable contributor to the well-being of human beings. Civil engineering has taken on roles in service to mankind and will play a vital role in sustaining and improving the quality of life for humanity in the twenty-first century.
Future challenges for civil engineers include pollution control, mitigating traffic congestion, providing safe drinking water, addressing the energy needs of an ever-increasing world population, urban redevelopment and community planning. Our Civil Engineering education prepares you to be a part of this challenging future. Join us!
The Major
The Civil Engineering program, both in Madrid and in Parks College, provides a solid foundation of coursework in the engineering sciences, including graphics, mechanics of solids, fluid sciences, vibrations and electronics. The student will then be able to specialize in such areas as smart structures, smart transportation, structural design and analysis and green engineering. Electives in transportation, smart structures, and structural design will provide opportunities for greater depth of study.
Modern and well-equipped laboratories emphasize experimental methods and measurement techniques.
As engineers are problem solvers, you will experience design problem solving throughout the Civil Engineering curriculum, culminating in a two-semester capstone design sequence.
In addition, the senior year prepares the student to take the Fundamentals in Engineering (FE) exam administered by the National Society of Professional Engineers.
The Civil Engineering curriculum is designed in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC of ABET) and the American Society of Civil Engineers.
Program Educational Objectives
The Civil Engineering program has been developed with the following objectives:
Unique Features of this Program
The curriculum is designed so that the theoretical studies are complemented with laboratory "hands-on" approaches. Solid modeling using state-of-the-art computer software is introduced during the freshman year. As you advance, you will use other computer software for structural analysis and fluid flow analysis. Civil Engineering laboratory facilities include a variety of equipment such as universal testing machines, vibration apparatus, and a fluid dynamics laboratory, a state-of-the-art soil mechanics laboratory and a concrete laboratory.
In addition, students have an opportunity to specialize in the area of environmental sciences.
