The B.S. in Civil Engineering gives students the tools they need to make an impact in tomorrow’s world. Throughout this program, students will gain a thorough understanding of civil engineering through a well-structured curriculum and hands-on laboratory experience.
This undergraduate degree is housed in the Department of Civil Engineering in the Daytona Beach Campus' College of Engineering and gives students the option to develop personalized study programs in topics ranging from hurricane and wind engineering to energy conservation, green engineering and even the design of extraterrestrial habitations. Upon graduation, you'll have the foundation necessary to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and become a professional engineer.
Students will have the opportunity to participate in the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) , and Engineers Without Borders (EWB) chapters, complete a senior design project, and explore opportunities in research.
The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Civil and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
