All elective courses are minimum 3 credits.

* 4 out of 7 courses must be in the same major branch and the remaining 3 courses from other branches. At least 2 courses must be Engineering Design courses. 1 course may be taken from other engineering departments subject to the approval of the CE department.

The undergraduate program in Civil Engineering was evaluated by ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc.) in 1996 and judged to be substantially equivalent to similarly named accredited programs in the U.S.A.

MINOR PROGRAM IN GEOTECHNICS

This program is aimed at students in other fields of engineering and science wishing an introduction to the behavior of engineering soils and geotechnical applications, especially those who are likely to collaborate with geotechnical engineers in their future professional life. The program requires basic knowledge of engineering mechanics and hydraulics. The emphasis will be on the principles of soil mechanics and ground investigation which are of value in gaining an understanding of problems such as slope stability, ground water movement, ground improvement and environmental geotechnology.

MINOR PROGRAM IN STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

The purpose of this minor program is to introduce students especially in the architecture department to the modern methods of structural analysis, and to acquaint them with current design procedures. The emphasis is on buildings although other structural forms will also be used to illustrate the underlying concepts.
