The four-year curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BS CE) enables the graduate to enter professional practice as an engineer or to continue their studies in programs leading to advanced degrees in the following broad fields of specialization:
- Construction Engineering,
- Environmental and Water Systems,
- Geotechnical Systems,
- Structural Systems,
- Transportation Systems.
The BS CE degree program is designed to offer depth in course material considered essential for all civil engineers, as well as flexibility in selecting elective courses that offer breadth of topic exposure. Civil engineers contribute to society in numerous ways; thus, the School's philosophy is to provide the student with a range of electives that meet student interests. Civil engineers must not only be technically proficient, but also must be effective in working with people and with professionals in other disciplines.
Prerequisites and Other Requirements
Students must satisfy all prerequisites for a particular course. In addition to campus-wide academic requirements for graduation with a bachelor's degree, the following are also required for the BSCE degree:
A C or better must have been earned in the following:
| Code | Title | Credit Hours |
|---|---|---|
| MATH 1551 | Differential Calculus | 2 |
| MATH 1552 | Integral Calculus | 4 |
| MATH 1553 | Introduction to Linear Algebra | 2 |
| MATH 2552 | Differential Equations | 4 |
| PHYS 2211 | Introductory Physics I | 4 |
| CHEM 1310 | Principles of General Chemistry for Engineers | 4 |
| COE 2001 | Statics | 2 |
The number of quality points earned in CEE courses taken toward the degree must be at least twice the number of credit hours in those courses. If a course is repeated, the latest grade will be included in applying this rule. No CEE course may be repeated for the purpose of satisfying this rule if the original grade was a C or higher.
Program Educational Objectives
Graduates will pursue a diverse range of careers that build on their engineering education. During the initial years of their careers, graduates will:
- be successfully employed in civil- and environmental-related fields, or other career paths, with prominent companies and organizations in industry, government, non-governmental organizations, and entrepreneurial ventures;
- pursue graduate education and research in civil and environmental engineering, and other fields;
- be global collaborators, participating in interdisciplinary and culturally diverse teams, and advancing in leadership positions in the profession;
- continue professional development by obtaining professional licensure or certifications, continuing education credits, or post-graduate study;
- be active in service to the profession and to the State of Georgia, the nation, and the world.
