The Washington State University Catalog

Civil Engineering Degree Program

The online catalog includes the most recent changes to courses and degree requirements that have been approved by the Faculty Senate, including changes that are not yet effective. Courses showing two entries of the same number indicate that the course information is changing. The most recently approved version is shown first, followed by the older version, in gray, with its last-effective term preceding the course title. Courses shown in gray with only one entry of the course number are being discontinued.

Civil Engineering Degree Program(129 Hours)

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 C E 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 C E 211, Math 171, 172, and Phys 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

1Classes that must be completed prior to certification.
2Chem 106 strongly recommended for an Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering emphasis; Geol 102 strongly recommended for a Structural Engineering emphasis.
3Elective courses: The total credit hours for elective courses must be distributed such that at least three courses, not including the lab, are DES (design emphasis) in order for a student to qualify for a degree. C E electives including C E laboratory will be selected such that at least one designated as DES should be chosen from two different areas (environmental, geotechnical, hydraulics, structural, and transportation/pavement).
