Undergraduate Study
For undergraduate curriculum in civil engineering leading to the degree bachelor of science. This curriculum is accredited under the General Criteria and Civil Engineering Program Criteria by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1040, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012 – telephone: (410) 347-7700, http://www.abet.org.
Civil engineering consists of the application of the laws, forces, and materials of nature to the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of public and private facilities, subject to economic, social, and environmental constraints. Commonly included are transportation systems; bridges and buildings; water supply, pollution control, irrigation, and drainage systems; river and harbor improvements; dams and reservoirs. Civil engineering also includes the planning, design, and responsible execution of surveying operations, and the location, delimitation, and delineation of physical and cultural features on the surface of the earth. Research, testing, sales, management, and related functions are also a part of civil engineering. Work on the campus is supplemented by inspection trips which furnish an opportunity for firsthand study of engineering systems in operation, as well as projects under construction.
Environmental engineering, as a specialty area in civil engineering, is concerned with protecting the public and natural health; providing safe, palatable and ample water supply; management of solid and hazardous waste; proper treatment and disposal of domestic and industrial waste waters and waste; resource recovery; providing adequate drainage of urban and rural areas for sanitation; and the control of water quality, soil contamination, and air pollution. At the undergraduate level, the study of various environmental and water resource engineering topics is part of the course of study leading to the Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering.
Program Goal
Consultation with an industrial advisory board of employers of civil engineers, with a broad base of civil engineering educators, and with students and alumni has yielded a continuous process of program planning, program assessment, curriculum development, and instructional development to produce an integrated, learning-based curriculum. The curriculum listed in this catalog has the academic program goal of developing an effective program that fulfills student educational needs and that equips and empowers qualified students for a successful career in civil or environmental engineering.
Program Objectives
To achieve the program goal, the Department has developed objectives intended to result in the following outcomes such that graduates:
- have a comprehensive education in the fundamentals of civil engineering,
- are prepared to undertake civil engineering design tasks,
- demonstrate effective communication skills and teamwork in multidisciplinary projects,
- play a constructive role to address the needs of society and the environment, and
- are motivated to continue their professional development.
The faculty encourages the development of the student’s professional skills through participation in cooperative education, internships, or progressive summer engineering employment. Qualified juniors and seniors interested in graduate studies may apply to the Graduate College to concurrently pursue the bachelor degree and a master of science in Civil Engineering or a master of business administration in the College of Business Administration.
Graduate Study
The Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering offers work for the master of engineering, master of science, and doctor of philosophy degrees with a major in civil engineering with areas of specialization in structural engineering, environmental engineering, construction engineering and management, geotechnical engineering, civil engineering materials, and transportation engineering. The department also offers minor work to students from other engineering departments.
Candidates for the degrees of master of engineering and master of science are required to satisfactorily complete a total of 30 credits of acceptable graduate work. The master of engineering degree involves all course work. The master of science degree requires the preparation of a thesis or creative component.
Candidates for the doctor of philosophy degree refer to the department’s home page and/or the department’s Graduate Student Handbook for degree options and credit requirements. The normal prerequisite to major graduate work is the completion of a curriculum substantially equivalent to that required of engineering students at this university. However, because of the diversity of interests within the graduate programs in civil engineering, a student may qualify for graduate study even though undergraduate or prior graduate training has been in a discipline other than engineering. Supporting work will be required depending upon the student’s background and area of interest. A prospective graduate student is urged to specify the degree program and area of specialization in which he or she is interested on the application for admission. The department participates in the interdepartmental majors in transportation (master of science only), environmental science, and biorenewable resources and technology (see Index).
The Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering (CCEE Department) offers graduate certificates in construction management, environmental engineering, and environmental systems. The construction management certificate requires 12 credits, including nine credits of “core courses” and three credits of “elective courses” from approved CCEE Department lists.
For the environmental engineering and environmental systems certificates, each certificate requires the completion of four courses of three credits each and at least two of these courses shall be from an approved “core course” CCEE Department list and the remaining courses may be selected from an approved “elective courses” CCEE Department list. These courses are offered by different departments at Iowa State University. These two certificates also require the completion of a seminar course, C E 591 Seminar in Environmental Engineering, or any equivalent to be approved by the Environmental Engineering graduate faculty.
For additional requirements for these three certificates, refer to the document that describes each graduate certificate. These documents are available from the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering.
