Civil engineering is the oldest of all engineering fields, yet it is as contemporary as the need to provide solutions to today’s environmental, geotechnical, structural and transportation problems. The civil engineer plans, designs, builds, and operates projects for the advancement and well-being of society while coordinating and conserving human and natural resources. Civil engineering projects range from small to monumental and include public water systems, buildings, bridges, rail and highway networks, water and wastewater treatment plants, solid and hazardous waste disposal facilities, airports, and soil conservation and flood diversion controls.

The civil engineering profession offers a vast array of opportunities. Civil engineers may work in private employment or with public agencies. They may work indoors in activities such as planning and design, or outdoors in areas such as construction supervision. Employment is possible anywhere in the world.

The objective of the Civil Engineering undergraduate program is to produce graduates who are prepared to pursue:

  • Careers in the broad field of civil engineering
  • Licensure as a professional engineer
  • Advanced education

To fulfill this objective, all students must take courses in geotechnical, environmental, transportation, and structural engineering. Courses are designed to present “real world” applications without sacrificing conceptual and theoretical basics. Students complete design problems in each of these areas; and, as part of the senior year, they participate in two major design projects.

Completion of degree requirements provides graduates with the following learning outcomes:

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

Requirements for B.S. in Civil Engineering

Elective Courses

Students must select three 3-hour civil engineering elective courses in conference with their adviser. Normally, the civil engineering courses are selected from among the 4000-level elective CVEG courses. Exceptional students may be allowed to choose from the 5000 (graduate-level) course series.  

Students must also choose one elective course in science, engineering, technology, or math (STEM) field.

Humanities and social science electives are selected from courses approved by the university which satisfy the University General Education Curriculum and the Arkansas State Minimum Core requirements. 

Students are required to complete 40 hours of upper division courses (3000-4000 level).  It is recommended that students consult with their adviser when making course selections.

Civil Engineering Design Electives

Students must complete two of the following four CVEG design project electives: CVEG 4812 Environmental Design Project, CVEG 4822 Geotechnical Design Project, CVEG 4832 Structural Design Project, and CVEG 4842 Transportation Design Project. Each design project elective is associated with a specific design-oriented course. The associated course must be taken at the same time as the design project elective. The associated courses may be taken alone but the design electives cannot.

STEM Electives

Students must also choose one elective course in science, engineering, technology, or math (STEM) from among the following:
