Undergraduate
Degree Program in Civil Engineering, BSCE
Lower-division
courses in civil engineering consist of a common core of basic courses
in science, mathematics, and engineering required of most students within
the College of Engineering. Civil engineering courses at the junior level
introduce the subject matter of the civil engineering sub-disciplines,
while the senior level courses add depth in elective areas. Design procedures
are introduced in the first and second year of the program, are intensified
in the third year required courses, and culminate in significant design
experiences in technical elective courses in the fourth year. Transfer
students must show a similar, progressive-design experience beginning
at least with their junior level courses.

Any student majoring in civil engineering may accumulate no more than 14
credits of D or F in UI mathematics, science or engineering courses that
are used to satisfy graduation requirements. Included in this number are
multiple repeats of a single class or single repeats in multiple classes
and courses transferred from other institutions. A warning will be issued
in writing to students who have accumulated 7 credits of D or F in UI mathematics,
science or engineering classes used to satisfy curricular requirements.
