2025-2026 Catalog
Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE)
The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) prepares you for a career designing, building, and maintaining essential infrastructure. With a hands-on, project-based curriculum and access to advanced labs, you™ll gain practical experience and the skills to shape the future of our built environment.
Learning Outcomes
You'll gain the ability to:
- identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics.
- apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors.
- communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts.
- function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks and meet objectives.
- develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
- acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
