Course summary

Civil Engineers are in the forefront of technology. They are the leading users of sophisticated high-tech products - applying the very latest concepts in computer-aided design, construction, project scheduling, and cost control. Civil engineering is about community service, development, and improvement. It involves the conception, planning, analysis, design and construction of facilities essential to modern life, ranging from tunnels to offshore structures to space satellites. Civil engineers are problem solvers, meeting the challenges of pollution, traffic congestion, drinking water, energy needs, urban redevelopment, and community planning.

Entry requirement for international students

Students should have taken 4 units of English, 2 units of algebra, 1 unit of geometry, 1 unit of advanced, Mathematics (trigonometry), 3 units of history or social studies, 3 units of lab science (1 unit must be chemistry or physics), 2 units of academic electives. Trigonometry is the minimum math requirement; however, students should complete pre-calculus or calculus if they have the opportunity to do so. Students should rank in the upper one-third of their high school class and have strong ACT or SAT scores. SAT with writing or the ACT with or without the optional writing test is accepted. Average GPA 3.7/4.0, Average SAT (Critical Reading and Math) 1260, Average ACT Composite 28 is required.
