in college level math and basic science subjects
appropriate to the discipline and a minimum of
14.5 course credits must be completed in engineering
topics, consistent with ABET general and
program criteria. Introductory science and engineering
requirements account for ten courses, with
six humanities, social science and arts electives, and
two free electives. Eight courses provide an
engineering foundation. Twelve courses fulfill the
degree concentration requirements. Within the
concentration requirement, there are five required
core courses (CEE 1, 12, 22, 32, and 42), three
concentration electives, three design electives, and a
capstone design course (CEE 81). The three design
electives are selected from at least two sub-disciplines
in structural engineering, water resources
engineering, environmental engineering and
geotechnical engineering. An example sequence of
courses for the BSCE degree is provided below.

Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering
The Bachelor of Science in Environmental
Engineering (BSEVE) is designed for students who
desire focused instruction in environmental engineering,
including greater emphasis on chemical
and biological principles. The BSEVE degree
program emphasizes the development of an
in-depth understanding of environmental engineering
principles, with applications to water and
wastewater treatment, water resources engineering,
environmental remediation, air quality control,
and public health engineering. The mission of the
BSEVE program is to provide students with
undergraduate educational experiences that serve
as a sound basis for professional practice in
environmental engineering, as well as the necessary
preparation for advanced study at the graduate level.
