Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering

Welcome to CEE

Undergraduate Program

The program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The objective of the degree program in Civil and Environmental Engineering is to give thorough training in fundamental engineering principles with an intensive introduction to each of the specializations within civil engineering. At the upper division, each student's program is tailored to meet the needs and interest of the individual. Areas of study include soil and groundwater contamination, hazardous waste control and treatment, wastewater treatment, and air pollution control and treatment. The curriculum emphasizes a combination of classroom and laboratory education with computer-aided design and analysis. The department maintains a micro-computer laboratory for undergraduate use. In addition to the classroom education, students can gain additional experience through various activities sponsored by an active student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

 

 

Certification

Certification into the department is the formal acceptance of the student by the department to pursue a professional academic program in that department. An undergraduate may apply for certification as a major within the department after completion of 30 semester hours, and must apply after 60 semester hours. Certification is awarded on the basis of each student's record at WSU and previous educational performance.Students who will be completing courses at the end of the semester including CE 211, Math 171, 172, and Phys 201 or equivalents are eligible to apply for certification. The number of students certified into the department depends upon the available resources and facilities. The best qualified students, based on cumulative GPA and grades in the prerequisite courses listed above will be certified into the department until the carrying capacity is reached. Applications are reviewed at the end of each semester.

 

 

Transfer Students

Students who are planning to transfer to civil engineering at Washington State University from other institutions should coordinate their program with the department chairperson to establish an integrated program leading to the bachelor's degree. Inquiries concerning specific questions are welcome. A strong preparation in mathematics and physics is necessary prior to transfer to minimize the time required to complete the degree requirements. The requirements for direct entry into the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering upon transfer are the same as listed above for certification. The Admissions Office will handle admissions applications from transfer students and the Department of Civil & Environmental engineering will handle certification applications.
