Wilkes University College of Business and Engineering 37 courses
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) offers a four-year degree program in Civil Engineering (CIV). CEE envisions future accreditation by EAC-ABET of this program. The Civil Engineering program will prepare students to address sustainable and resilient design to minimize risk to infrastructure due to climate change, natural and man-made disasters, and current and future pandemics and other human health threats. This program provides strong engineering and scientific experience with advanced techniques to analyze systems, use of software for civil engineering design, and hands-on activities heavily integrated into the curriculum. Students intending to major in this program are encouraged to be well prepared in the sciences and mathematics. Total Credits - 128. The student professional chapters of the Air & Waste Management Association (AWMA), the Pennsylvania Society of Professional Engineers (PSPE) and the Society of Women (SWE) in conjunction with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering periodically offer seminars on subjects of a timely nature. Attending these seminars and taking the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam are mandatory for the completion of the degree in Civil Engineering. Honors Program in Civil Engineering Upon the recommendation and approval of the Civil Engineering faculty, honor students in Civil Engineering will be recognized upon completion of the following requirements: achievement of an overall grade point...
