The Bachelor of Science degree program in Civil Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. The curriculum has been designed so that students choose a sequence of four (4) or more approved elective courses. The sequence gives students the opportunity to pursue in more depth a particular area of practice into Civil Engineering. Samples of courses from which elective sequences may be chosen follow the Civil Engineering curriculum in this bulletin. In addition, all Civil Engineering students participate in a team senior capstone design course which provides them experience with solving multidisciplinary Civil Engineering problems. Students enrolled in other majors may pursue a minor in civil engineering. A minimum of 15 credit hours of Civil Engineering courses and prior Department minor advisor approval are required Most classes in the Civil Engineering Department have enrollment of less than 25 so the students have opportunities to develop close professional relationships with the faculty. Students also have opportunities to gain practical experience as well as earn a supplemental income by assisting faculty members on consulting work or a funded research project. Program Educational Objectives Graduates of the ECIV Program will enter the profession of Civil Engineering and advance to positions of greater responsibility and leadership, in line with ASCE Professional Grade Descriptions. Graduates of the ECIV Program will enter and successfully progress in, or complete, advanced degree programs within their fields of choice. Graduates of the ECIV Program will progress toward or complete professional registration and licensure. Student Outcomes As preparation for achieving the above educational objectives, the BS degree program in Civil Engineering is designed so that students attain: an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics (including differential equations) and science (including calculus-based physics and general chemistry) and one additional area of science. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility and the role of civil engineers in providing for the safety and well-being of the general public. an ability to communicate effectively in written and oral form. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning. a knowledge of contemporary issues. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice and the design of functional civil engineering facilities. Proficiency in probability and statistics, as applied to civil engineering design and planning issues. an understanding of professional practice issues, including the role of civil engineering design and management professionals in the construction process, public policy and leadership. an ability to develop an understanding of the importance of professional licensure and the ethical use of a professional license. This program focused on Structural Engineering. In addition to this there is few more concentration are also available as follows: Geotechnical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Environmental Engineering, Pre-Architecture, Construction Engineering and Management.

More programs from the university

Although its origins date to 1826, the University in its present form is the result of the 1967 federation of Case Institute of Technology and Western Reserve University. The two institutions had shared adjacent campuses since the late nineteenth century, and were involved in cooperative efforts for many years. Today, Case Western Reserve's enrollment and resources, distributed among undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs that encompass the arts and sciences, dental medicine, engineering, law, management, medicine, nursing, and social work, achieve a balance that is distinctive among American universities. Case Western Reserve University is located in University Circle, a 550-acre, park-like concentration of approximately 50 cultural, medical, educational, religious, and social service institutions located at the eastern edge of the city center. University Circle attracts visitors from throughout the region and the world to its concerts, theater performances, athletic events, art shows, public lectures, exhibits, and restaurants. Housing, shopping, and recreational facilities are all located in the area.
