BS in Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering (CE) provides a solid background in mathematics and basic sciences applied toward the study and design of engineered systems. As a broad field encompassing many disciplines, Civil Engineering offers a challenging and fulfilling career to individuals with a wide variety of interests. Upper level courses in the major include study in structural analysis, geotechnical engineering, construction, water resources, and environmental engineering. The program emphasizes development of open-ended problem solving, team building skills, creativity, and communication ability. In the senior level capstone design course, students integrate what they have learned in the design of a complete Civil Engineering system. Graduates of the major are well prepared to pursue a variety of career opportunities and graduate programs in and out of the Coast Guard.  The program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, telephone: (410) 347-7700.

In addition to the common Department of Engineering outcomes, objectives of the Civil Engineering Major include producing graduates who have:

* Have a broad base of knowledge in civil engineering represented by the structural, environmental, geotechnical, construction, and civil engineering materials discipline areas
 * Can perform fundamental laboratory procedures in civil engineering, including the areas of geotechnical, materials, environmental and structures
 * Can perform fundamental design procedures in civil engineering, including the areas of structural, environmental, and geotechnical
* Understand professional practice issues pertaining to construction management, ethics, and professional licensure

Program Educational Objectives or "PEOs", on the other hand, look ahead several years to offer expectations for graduates early in their career. In addition to the PEOs for all engineering majors, the Civil Engineering program PEO is to produce graduates who are prepared to provide appropriate civil engineering expertise to the U.S. Coast Guard.
