Civil Engineering graduate program applicants without a prior BS in engineering are expected to make up course deficiencies with the intent of satisfying two objectives: 1. Develop course pre-requisite background for the Civil Engineering graduate program in the specialty elected. 2. Attain an education by the end of the proposed graduate degree equivalent to the minimum hour content requirements for a ABET-EAC accredited BS engineering degree. The first objective is to ensure reasonable preparation for graduate courses so that the pace of the courses will not be hindered for other students. The second objective is to enhance, but not guarantee, opportunity for individuals without a prior ABET-EAC engineering degree to pursue Professional Engineering licensure. ABET-EAC requires the following minimum content: Mathematics and Basic Science: 32 credit hours Calculus (MA 141, 241, 242), Statistics (ST 370), and possibly Differential Equations (MA 341); Physics (calculus-based, PY 208), Chemistry (CH 101/102), and others such as Biology or Geosciences. Some of these hours may be at the graduate level. Engineering Science and Engineering Design: 48 credit hours Normal Minimum Undergraduate Engineering Courses for Individual Specialty Areas Select one area; additional courses are desirable; GPA of 3.0 and C or better in all courses required. • Construction Engineering and Management (25 hours) CE 214, CE 215, CE 313, CE 325, CE 325, CE 327, CE 332, CE 342, CE 426 • Geotechnical/Geoenvironmental Engineering (22 hours) CE 214, CE 215, CE 313, CE 325, CE 325, CE 327, CE 332, CE 342 • Materials CE 214, CE 215, CE 313, CE 325, CE 325, CE 327, CE 332, CE 342, MAT 200 • Structural Engineering and Mechanics (25 credit hours) CE 214, CE 215, CE 313, CE 325, CE 325, CE 327, CE 332, CE 342, CE 426 • Transportation Systems (18 credit hours) CE 201/203, CE 214, CE 215, CE 305, CE 332, CE 375 • Water Resources, Coastal, and Environmental Engineering (18 credit hours) CE 214, CE 215, CE 375, CE 382, and two from CHE 205, MAE 301, CE 313, CE 373, CE 383, & CE 484 • Computer-Aided-Engineering specialty applicants must meet one of the area requirements above. The remaining courses needed to achieve the 48-hour engineering total must be engineering courses and may be at the undergraduate or graduate level. The graduate level courses may be part of the requirements for the graduate degree. When pre-requisites have been taken, some graduate courses may be taken in parallel with the undergraduate courses.
