Note 1: CE electives must be selected from at least two sub-fields of civil Engineering. (Technical electives and free electives can be used to take additional CE electives in any sub-field)

Note 2: A technical elective is an upper-level mathematics, science, or engineering course (including CE electives), usually requiring one or more prerequistes

Note 3: Four Humanities/Social Science Electives must be selected from the list of approved electives for engineering majors

Note 4: One additional Humanities/Social Science Elective must be selected from the list of approved electives for Civil Engineering majors

Note 5: Of the five Humanities/Social Science electives, at least one must be in humanities and at least one must be in social science

Note 6: At least two Humanities/Social Science electives must be in the same discipline with one course at the 200 or higher level

Note 7: Courses in geology, biology, physics or chemistry can be science electives. Math courses with a prerequisite of at least Math 161 will be considered math electives.
 

Our program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET,111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, telephone: (410) 347-7700. Please follow this link to our ABET Educational Objectives and Program Outcomes.

Part of that accreditation requires civil and environmental engineering students to take Humanities and Social Science courses which expose them to the breadth of knowledge outside of engineering and natural science. Please follow this link for the list of Allowable Science, Technical, and Humanities-Social Science Electives.
