The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has the mission of teaching the fundamentals of civil engineering science, analysis, design, and management in order to empower students to assume careers as professional engineers, to conduct basic and applied research to improve the state of knowledge of civil engineering, to serve as a source of information and advice to the community on engineering matters, and to assist in the continuing education of professional engineers and others interested individuals. The department has a special mission to provide an opportunity for a civil engineering education for minorities and women.
Opportunities and Facilities
Many opportunities exist in the field of civil engineering that encompass planning, designing, and managing a variety of projects. Your work could be on site at a project or at a computer work station. Civil and environmental engineers often find themselves involved in many of the public work projects funded by federal, state, and municipal governments, as well as those projects undertaken by the private sector. As a structural engineer, you might analyze and design structures out of steel, concrete, aluminum, timber, plastic and other new materials that are able to support required loads and withstand natural disasters. An environmental engineer, with a background in either physical, chemical, or biological sciences, helps to prevent and solve environmental problems. Engineers in the geotechnical realm apply technology, field test information, and laboratory analyses related to mechanics and mathematics to create the infrastructure facilities within and on top of the earth. The structure and stabilization of soils determine how and where to construct tunnels, pipelines, and deep foundations as well as highways and other buildings. In hydraulic and water resources engineering, you might design, construct or maintain facilities related to the quality and quantity of water, flood prevention, wastewater treatment, and water front erosion protection. As a professional in transportation engineering, your purpose is to move people and things in a safe and efficient manner locally and through mass transportation systems. Transportation facilities include highways, airfields, railroads, and sea ports. Several courses are also offered in construction engineering.
Instructional equipment includes the MTS structures and material testing systems with computer control for data acquisition and analysis, triaxial, CBR, and shear testing equipment and seismographs for in situ and laboratory measurements of engineering properties of soils and rocks; and a self-contained glass-sided tilting flume for investigations of flow phenomena and sediment transport. A complete stand-alone automated data acquisition and analysis system is available for undergraduate student laboratory work and research. A fully equipped water quality testing lab as well as portable field testing kits are used both for classroom teaching as well as for student research and design projects.
Students have access to a large number and variety of computer systems. A network of nearly 700 computing devices is available for the academic and research efforts of the college.
The department houses the Institute for Transportation Technologies (ITT), which is a well equipped state-of-the-art, high-performance computing environment for the pursuit of transportation related research. The equipment includes a Silicon Graphics Origin 2000 technical server with sixteen parallel processors, and a cluster of workstations for fast visualization, and pre- and post- processing. This advanced computing environment is available primarily to graduate students working as research assistants with departmental faculty. The college computers are connected to a high-speed, switched, fiber-optic LAN and to the Internet via The Florida State University connection to the NSF v BNS network. Desktop computers are supported by a cluster of Sun, DEC, and SGI servers. Other nearby resources include the School of Computational Science and Information Technology (CSIT). Additional information about the department can be obtained from the college home page: http://www.eng.fsu.edu.
Programs Offered
The department offers a program of study for the bachelor of science (BS) degree in civil engineering. The civil engineering major is broad-based emphasizing all aspects of civil engineering practice including structural analysis and design, geotechnical, construction/transportation, hydraulics and water resources, and environmental engineering. Within the civil engineering program, the environmental engineering major is a course of study that focuses primarily on environmental engineering, hydraulics, hydrology, water resources, and the management of all types of wastewater systems. Regardless of focus, all students are taught to apply state-of-the-art technologies to the solutions of problems in these areas.
The department offers graduate programs leading to the master of science (MS) and doctoral (PhD) degrees in civil engineering. These programs provide areas of concentration in structural, geotechnical, environmental/water resources, and construction/transportation engineering. The department also offers a certificate in water and environmental resources engineering in partnership with the Center for Professional Development. Students may enroll as special students if they intend to use the certificate credits later. Students who do not wish to receive academic credit may sign up for continuing education units (CEU's). Twelve (12) semester hours are required to complete the program. Information and registration may be found at http://www.eng.fsu.edu/certificateprogram/. In order to be admitted to the MS program, a student must have a bachelors degree in civil engineering, a 3.0 grade point average (GPA) in the last two years of undergraduate school, and a Graduate Record Examination (GRE) score of at least 1000. Exceptions may be granted where other evidence indicates an ability to perform satisfactory graduate work. A student without a bachelor's degree in civil engineering may be required to complete undergraduate engineering articulation courses prior to attempting more advanced work. Admission to the doctoral program requires possession of a masters degree in civil or environmental engineering or a closely allied academic discipline from an accredited college or university, good standing in the academic institution last attended, evidence of a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale as an upper level undergraduate or graduate student, and a minimum score of 1100 on the GRE. Exceptional applicants with a BS degree may be admitted to the PhD program, provided they complete an MS degree in the department before obtaining the PhD degree. For more details, refer to the Graduate Bulletin.
Department Education Objectives
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has identified the following four department education objectives:
- To provide civil and environmental engineering graduates from a civil engineering program with required engineering proficiencies to enter professional practice or to continue their studies at the graduate level;
- To provide graduates, especially women, African Americans, and other minorities, with sufficient management, communication, and leadership skills for successful civil and environmental engineering careers;
- To provide civil and environmental engineering graduates with a solid background in mathematics and science, technology, and analytical and design procedures; and,
- To provide graduates with an understanding of the rapid pace of change in civil and environmental engineering and its importance to society.
Student Outcomes
These objectives are further expanded and detailed through twelve student outcomes. From several interchangeable, existing terms such as student outcomes, program outcomes, graduate outcomes and graduate attributes the department elected to use the term "student outcomes." The student outcomes are intellectual abilities that each student must gain from the program before he/she graduates. The following student outcomes below are closely linked to departmental objectives:
- An ability to apply knowledge of the following: mathematics, through differential equations and probability and statistics; science, including calculus-based physics and general chemistry; and engineering, to subsequent problems;
- An ability to design and conduct field and laboratory experiments, as well as to critically analyze and interpret data in more than one of the recognized civil engineering areas;
- An ability to design systems, components, or processes gained through design experiences integrated throughout the curriculum;
- An ability to function on interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary teams;
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve civil and environmental engineering problems;
- An understanding of ethical and professional practice issues, including project design, execution, and delivery; and the importance of professional licensure and continuing education;
- An ability to communicate effectively;
- The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global/societal context;
- A recognition of the need for and an ability to engage in lifelong learning;
- Knowledge of contemporary civil and/or environmental issues;
- An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice; and,
- Proficiency in a minimum of four recognized areas within the civil engineering program.
Engineering Design
Following engineering design criteria established by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), the civil engineering curricula provides excellent design experiences for students. Faculty of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering have carefully integrated design components into the curriculum with increased complexity as students progress toward graduation. These design components offer opportunities for students to work individually and in teams on meaningful engineering design experiences building upon the fundamental concepts of mathematics, basic sciences, humanities, social sciences, engineering topics, and oral and written communication skills. Design components in engineering course work help students develop an appreciation for and apply the knowledge of the wide variety of courses they have studied. Consequently, they participate in meaningful solutions and effective design development for practical engineering problems.
Beginning with an introductory course EGN 1004L, First Year Engineering Laboratory in the freshman year, design components are integrated in the curriculum with a focus on professional practice. A majority of the design experiences are integrated into junior and senior level courses. For example, design experience is expanded in the civil engineering curriculum when students have completed EGN 3311, Civil Engineering Mechanics, and progress to EGN 3331, Strength of Materials, then to CES 3100, Structural Analysis I. Students are exposed to extensive design experiences in CES 4702, Concrete Design and CES 4605, Steel Design courses.
A major in environmental engineering includes ENV 4001, Environmental Engineering, which builds on material covered in CWR 3201, Hydraulics, and is followed by CWR 4202, Hydraulic Engineering I and CWR 4101, Engineering Hydrology. CGN 4800, Pre-Senior Design and Professional Issues, and CGN 4802, Senior Design Project, provide significant, culminating design experiences that are applied to one or two actual engineering situations for students, who are working in multidisciplinary teams and majoring in either civil or environmental engineering.
Additional information about design credits may be obtained by contacting faculty advisors at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and from department brochures.
