Program Details
Our Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering program was designed for students interested in becoming well-rounded engineers. Our department focuses on interdisciplinary education. That means you won’t just learn civil engineering. Instead, you’ll get a much broader perspective.
Our courses help you understand how the decisions you make as a civil engineer can impact the communities you work in. You’ll learn about sustainable engineering, environmental impact, and even mechanical engineering – all to ensure you’re prepared to identify, formulate, and solve complex problems that make communities run more efficiently.
What it’s like to be a Jimmie in the Engineering Department?
Communication is big in our department. It’s one thing to be able to solve problems. Communicating your ideas and effectively conveying their impact – that’s an entirely different skill. One that’s extremely important when you’re a civil engineer.
Our curriculum blends the liberal arts with mathematics, science, and engineering. As a civil engineering student, you’ll learn how to:
- Apply engineering design to problem solve, while considering public health, safety, and welfare – as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
- Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities and make informed judgments.
- Function effectively on a team to provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
- Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and draw conclusions.
- Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
Life After Graduation
Our program prepares graduates to:
- Pass The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam.
- Obtain licensure.
- Integrate technological advances, ethical concerns, and current evidence into engineering practice.
- Lead engineering teams and projects.
- Make meaningful contributions to the engineering profession, as well as the broader community.
Why UJ?
- Small class sizes give you the opportunity to connect with your professors and peers
- Involvement is encouraged. We work closely with students involved in athletics, the arts, and other campus organizations, so they can participate in the activities they love and still earn their engineering degree.
Dedicated to Diversity
One third of our engineering faculty are women. Plus, our students come from all over the country and the globe, bringing with them diverse cultures and experiences that are celebrated on campus.
Gain real-life experience.
We graduate engineers who are prepared to work on a team and become leaders in their field. This outcome is accomplished, in part, through experiential learning opportunities.
Lab Work
Labs for the civil engineering program will be housed in a renovated facility, with current, state-of-the-art equipment. That means when you graduate, you’ll work with the same equipment you trained on in school.
Internships
Obtain work experience and make informed career choices through internships of a semester or more in length. Our Career Center can help you find and secure an internship.
