Civil Engineering (127 Credits)
At least 50 of the total hours required for this degree must be in 300-400-level courses. None of the courses listed below may be taken on a pass, fail basis and a grade of C or better in all CE courses is required for graduation.
Certification Requirements:
Students who will be completing at least 45 semester hours of course work at the end of the semester including CE 211, MATH 171, 172, and PHYSICS 201 or equivalents are eligible to apply for certification into the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The number of students certified into the department depends upon the available resources and facilities. The best qualified students, based on cumulative gpa and grades in the prerequisite courses listed above, as well as all math , science and engineering courses taken to date, will be certified into the department until the carrying capacity is reached.
Experiential Requirement
Students within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering must complete one of the following experiential requirements:
1. An internship of at least eight weeks duration, with at least one credit of CE 495.
2. A research position of at least eight weeks duration under the supervision of a departmental faculty member or approved mentor, with at least one credit of CE 499.
3. Study abroad for six or more credit hours. International students in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering will meet this requirement through their study in the United States.
4. Participation in a recognized ROTC program. Veterans in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering will have met this requirement through their prior service in the armed forces.
5. A leadership or service experience of at least one semester, subject to departmental approval, with at least one credit of CE 499.

Footnotes
| 1 | Classes that must be completed prior to certification. |
| 2 | CHEM 106 strongly recommended for students emphasizing environmental engineering; SOE 101 or 102 strongly recommended for students emphasizing structural, geotechnical, or infrastructure engineering. |
| 3 | Elective courses: The total credit hours for elective courses must be distributed such that at least three courses, not including the lab, are designated as having design emphasis. Those design courses must be selected such that at least one is chosen from two different areas of study, which include Environmental (CE 403, 419, and 442); Geotechnical (CE 425 and 435); Hydraulics (CE 450, 456, 460, and 475); Structural (CE 431, 433, 434, and 436); Sustainability (CE 405 and 456); and Transportation/Pavement (CE 473); or as approved by advisor. |
