Bachelors

Our Bachelor’s Program in Civil Engineering offers a curriculum that is mix of traditional, contemporary and futuristic, combining a strong foundation in mathematics and science with comprehensive civil engineering coursework in structural, environmental, transportation, and water resources engineering. The core curriculum addresses more than 70% of the topics covered on the current Civil Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination, while four advanced elective courses allow students to pursue a specialization beginning in their junior year. Classroom instruction is reinforced through hands-on physical and computational laboratory experiences that deepen students’ understanding and prepare them to solve complex, real-world engineering problems. Emerging and cutting-edge tools such as data analytics, AI, deep leaning, etc. are integrated all through the curriculum. Our students are taught to think to solve complex real-world problems. The program emphasizes ethical and professional responsibility, public health, safety and welfare, teamwork, communication, and leadership—equipping graduates for successful careers with leading engineering firms, construction companies, public agencies, and other infrastructure organizations.

Follow the Curriculum-matrix for semester-wise sequence of courses.  Each row of this matric indicates one semester. Generally, courses offered in any row of the matrix are conflict free.  Hence, all students are advised to follow courses row wise to complete their graduation requirements in a planner manner within a period of 4 years.

Our planned offering of elective courses has been changing because of increasing trend of enrollment. For question about a specific course being offered in Spring or Fall semesters, please contact Lauren Shuman ( lshuman@ccny.cuny.edu )

ABET ACCREDITATION 
The CCNY Civil Engineering (C.E.) Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, https:// www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Civil Engineering (and Similarly Named Engineering) Program Criteria.

PEOs are broad statements describing the abilities and accomplishments of our alumni within a few years of graduation. They reflect the needs and priorities of our program’s constituencies, which include our alumni, their employers, our faculty, and our Advisory Board. The PEO for our Bachelor of Engineering program are:

1. Advance in a career as a professional in Civil Engineering or in a related field;
2. Uphold the highest level of integrity in decision-making;
3. Understand and meet the evolving multidisciplinary challenges and needs of the multiple stakeholders and communities in which they work and live; 
4. Build on their academic preparation through lifelong learning, graduate study, engagement in professional societies, and/or professional licensure; 
5. Act as stewards of the profession who protect and advance the health, safety, and welfare of the public; and
6. Serve the community and the Civil Engineering profession.

SOs describe the abilities that our students will develop through our curriculum, that we believe lay the groundwork for them to achieve the PEOs listed above. The SOs for our Bachelor of Engineering program are:

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics;
2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet the specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors;
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences;
4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgements, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and social contexts;
5. An ability to function collaboratively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives;
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgement to draw conclusions; and
7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
