Total Credits 128 1.Departmental courses may be used for technical electives, but technical courses outside the department may not be used as departmental electives. The department publishes annually a list of acceptable technical electives. The following technical courses are strongly recommended:
14:332:373Elements of Electrical Engineering
14:650:351Thermodynamics
2.At least one of the following Capstone Design courses is required:
14:180:407Construction Projects
14:180:426Structural Design
14:180:431Design of Environmental Engineering Facilities
14:180:438Transportation Engineering II
14:180:474Geotechnical Engineering Design
3.With a combination of the required and elective departmental courses and the available general and technical electives, a student may pursue a general program or a program having an area of concentration in structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, construction engineering, transportation engineering, and water resources/environmental engineering.
