Industrialized Construction Engineering

Department Requirements

A minimum grade of C is required for all courses marked below. A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for all civil engineering courses. Before graduating, all BS Industrialized Construction Engineering students must take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam.

The basic program provides the minimum education for practice. Beyond the bachelor's degree, advanced degrees are available in geosensing, transportation, water resources, structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, construction, public works, civil engineering materials, and coastal and oceanographic engineering.

Educational Objectives

The undergraduate program in civil engineering will prepare graduates to

• Meet the needs and expectations of civil engineering employers and proceed toward the attainment of a Professional Engineering (P.E.) license
• Continue their education and pursue advanced degrees if they so desire.

Goals

• To develop industrialized construction engineering professionals with proficiency in the fundamentals of science and engineering
• To develop an understanding of the planning, design, construction and operation of construction engineering projects
• To develop enhanced communication skills
• To develop an appreciation of professionalism and ethics in the practice of engineering.

Mission

The department strives to build upon a leading program of exceptional teaching, innovative research and dedicated service by maintaining a strong curriculum, a highly qualified and committed faculty, outstanding facilities and essential funding.

Critical Tracking records each student’s progress in courses that are required for progress toward each major. Please note the critical-tracking requirements below on a per-semester basis.

Equivalent critical-tracking courses as determined by the State of Florida Common Course Prerequisites may be used for transfer students.
