UNDERGRADUATE
PROGRAMS
Civil
Engineering
Civil engineering is concerned with
constructed facilities, including structures, foundations,
environmental and transportation systems, waterways, ports,
irrigation, drainage, and water supply and treatment. The civil
engineers’ vital role is to plan, design and supervise the
construction of these facilities.
Civil engineering is one of the most
publicly-visible technical fields. It shares the distinction, with
military engineering, of being the earliest of the engineering
disciplines. Other branches of engineering emerged as technical
knowledge became more specialized. Civil engineering not only
retains a strong relationship with the other branches, but continues
to generate new areas of technology.
The basic theories of structural
analysis, which are the concern of civil engineers, are expressed in
every machine and aircraft, and in buildings and other constructed
facilities. The study of mechanics is basic to the field of civil
engineering. A thorough foundation in science and mathematics is
necessary for the application of basic scientific principles to the
design of structures and fluid systems. Computer methods are
integrated throughout the civil engineering elective
offerings.
Graduates of the Stevens program meet
the demands for responsible positions in various sub-disciplines of
civil engineering and contribute to the advancement of the civil
engineering practice. Prospective employers include industrial
firms, consulting engineering firms and construction contractors, as
well as various government agencies.
Our undergraduate offerings include
subjects basic to all civil engineering.
Mission
and Objectives The mission of the civil engineering
program at Stevens is to educate a new generation of civil engineers
who are leaders in the profession. The educational program
emphasizes professional practice, entrepreneurship, leadership,
lifelong learning and civic contribution. The program of study
combines a broad-based core engineering curriculum, a substantial
experience in the humanities and in business engineering management,
with specialization in civil engineering. Within the sequence of
civil engineering courses, the students have the flexibility to
concentrate in structural, geotechnical, water resources, and
environmental engineering or construction
management.
The objectives of the civil
engineering program are provided in terms of our expectations for
our graduates. Within several years of graduation, they
will:
- Establish a distinctive record of achievements within the
profession and will have become a licensed Professional Engineer;
- Be
thoroughly aware and knowledgeable in dealing with environmental,
social, ethical and economic impacts of their projects;
- Augment their knowledge through professional and cultural
continuing education;
- Be
active in leadership roles within their professional and technical
societies;
- Be
innovative and creative in conceiving, designing and constructing
a broad range of projects;
- Continue to demonstrate an entrepreneurial spirit in all
their activities; and
Actively support and advance the educational programs at
Stevens Institute of Technology.
