Civil Engineering:  Civil engineers have a primary role in creating the “built environment” and in protecting the “natural environment.” They plan, design, construct, and operate buildings, highways, airports, pipelines, bridges, dams and levees, irrigation works, water supply systems, wastewater treatment system, and various other components of the built environment. The scope of civil engineering also includes responsibilities for environmental and social impacts, which have taken on greater importance as our society has learned to articulate its concerns about urban problems, environmental quality, energy, and improvement of the quality of life. Civil Engineering emphasizes all aspects of civil engineering practice including structural analysis/design, geotechnical, transportation, hydraulics, hydrology, water resources, and the management of all waste streams.

Environmental Engineering:  Environmental Engineering focuses primarily on environmental engineering, hydraulics, hydrology, water resources, and the management of all waste streams. As an environmental engineer you will help prevent and solve environmental Problems and may be involved in many public works projects funded by the federal, state and municipal governments, as well as those in the private sector.

ABET
The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) requires that all students graduating from an ABET-accredited program meet certain requirements.  Completion of the A.A. degree will not necessarily meet these requirements. Prospective majors should select courses after consulting an advisor.

Prerequisite Coursework:
Students must complete the following prerequisites required for admission in preparation for the upper division major. Students are encouraged to complete these in the freshman and sophomore years.  All may also apply to other requirements.
MAC 2311 (4) Calculus I
MAC 2312 (4) Calculus II
MAC 2313 (4-5) Calculus III
MAP 2302 (3) Ordinary Differential Equations [FSU students take MAP 3305(3) Engineering Math]
CHM 1045, 1045L (3,1) General Chemistry I with Lab
PHY 2048C (5) General Physics A with Lab
PHY 2049C (5) General Physics B with Lab
ENC 1101/1102 (3, 3) Freshman Composition
XXX XXXX (6) Humanities
XXX XXXX (6) Social Science (include History)
XXX XXXX (3) Humanities or Social Science
Other courses might serve as acceptable alternatives to these common program prerequisites.  Please see http://www.facts.org/cgi-bin/eaglec for a current list of approved substitutes.

Admission Requirements to Major Program of Studies
To be admitted, students must complete at least 52 hours of credit with an adjusted GPA of 2.0, including at least half the required hours in the Liberal Studies program, including all of Area I (English, Math). In addition, the following requirements must be met:
1) A grade of “C” or better in EGN 1004L (1) First Year Engineering Lab. One repeat attempt is permitted. Complete course in the freshman year or the first year at FSU. 
2) A grade of “C” or better, from any institution attended, in Calculus I, Calculus II, General Chemistry I with Lab, and General Physics I with Lab. A single repeated attempt in only one of these courses is permitted.

Mapping
Mapping is FSU’s academic advising and monitoring system.  Academic progress is monitored each Fall and Spring semester to ensure that students are on course to earn their degree in a timely fashion.  Transfer students must meet mapping guidelines to be accepted into their majors.   You may view the map for this major at
www.academic-guide.fsu.edu.

Major Program of Studies at FSU:  105 to 106 hours
The aggressive, strongly motivated student with proper high school preparation can complete an Engineering degree in about 4 years, including a summer semester, by taking a course load of 16-18 hours each semester. Other students may require more time. All students are encouraged to take the Fundamental in Engineering (F.E.) Examination prior to graduation.
