The faculty of the Department of Civil Engineering has developed the curriculum described in the above links.  This curriculum has been designed to provide a firm foundation in the full breadth of modern civil engineering, with enough humanities and social sciences courses to provide a liberal education.  Some flexibility is built into the curriculum allowing students to pursue, through technical electives, special interests within civil engineering such as structural analysis and design, geotechnical engineering, environmental and water resource engineering, or economics and systems analysis.  The ordering of the courses is only a suggested one, but students are cautioned to check prerequisites and schedule conflicts if changes are made.  No courses shall be used as substitutes for required civil engineering courses.

An overview of the schedule is given in the links:
