Candidates for the Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (Civil Engineering) - B.S.E. (C.E.) - must complete the program listed above. This sample schedule is an example of one leading to graduation in eight terms.

Notes:
*Mandatory Courses in that focus area.

1If you have a satisfactory score or grade in Chemistry AP, A-Level, IB Exams or transfer credit from another institution for Chemistry 130/125/126 you will have met the Chemistry Core Requirement for CoE.

2If you have a satisfactory score or grade in Physics AP, A-Level, IB Exams or transfer credit from another institution for Physics 140/141 and 240/241 you will have met the Physics Core Requirement for CoE.

3CEE will accept equivalent courses offered by other departments in the College of Engineering.

4At least two of the three technical electives must be in the same focus area. The third technical elective may be selected from the same focus area as the first two technical electives.
