About Bs Civil Engineering in Fairleigh Dickinson University
The Gildart Haase School of Computer Sciences and Engineering offers a Bachelor of Science in Civil engineering (B.S.C.E.) degree program that prepares graduates for entrance into the profession of civil engineering or graduate study. Civil engineering graduates work in the industry as civil engineers, typically specializing as:
- Construction
- Geotechnical
- Structural
- Transportation
Job Titles
- Project engineers
- Project managers
- Job superintendents
- Contractors
- Estimators
- Schedulers
- Examiners
- Surveyors
As the nation’s infrastructure ages, more civil engineers will be needed to supervise projects that maintain, repair, rebuild, or upgrade highways, bridges, dams, waste treatment plants, and water systems. Civil engineers are also needed to design and build new houses, buildings, highways, and various components of infrastructure as the population continues to grow. Moreover, they will contribute to energy conservation, environmental sustainability, and environmental protection by building and maintaining smart green buildings and cities, as well as managing renewable energy projects, including building structures to support solar arrays and wind turbines in addition to dams and geothermal plants.
The B.S.C.E. curriculum provides students with a varied and balanced educational experience through an appropriate combination of theoretical concepts and practical applications. It also provides them with an engineering design experience that expands in breadth and depth as they progress through their studies. A stimulating course of study is maintained by offering students a variety of contemporary courses. The engineering laboratory experience is fully integrated with coursework. Students work in state-of-the-art laboratories.
The program focuses on three key areas of civil engineering:
- Structural
- Geotechnical
- Environmental engineering
Students will learn to analyze, test, and use soils and construction materials; design, build, operate, and maintain infrastructure and facilities; estimate construction costs; manage projects; and interpret contracts and specifications.zz
