The Department Description
The Department of Civil and Geomatics Engineering offers programs of study leading to the Bachelor of Science degrees in Civil Engineering and Geomatics Engineering and the Master of Science in Civil Engineering. Civil and Geomatics Engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) which represents the major professional engineering groups in the United States.
Faculty and Facilities
The teaching and research specialties of the department's faculty cover every area of civil engineering and geomatics engineering. Most faculty members are licensed as civil engineers or land surveyors and have a wide range of professional experience in engineering design, analysis, research and development.
Excellent laboratory facilities exist for structures, testing of soils
and construction materials, hydraulics testing, water quality analysis,
aerial mapping, GIS and land surveying.
Mandatory Advising
It is the policy of the department that every student see his/her assigned
adviser at least once during the academic year.
Accelerated B.S./M.S.
An accelerated B.S./M.S. program is offered in civil engineering as a streamlined curriculum that may be used by qualified students to attain the bachelor of science and master of science degrees simultaneously. Undergraduate CE and GME students in their senior year are eligible to be admitted into this program if they have a GPA of at least 3.0 in the CE or GME core courses, complete the G.E. requirements the semester they start the accelerated program or before, and take the GRE examination. An application and letter of intent should be filed with the MSCE program. A plan of study should be developed in consultation with the coordinator and graduate faculty of the MSCE program. Complete all G.E. requirements prior to taking any 200-level coursework. See page 317 for more detailed information.
