Curriculum Map for Civil Engineering Degree

Atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding, chemical and physical properties, introduction to stoichiometry, and thermochemistry are presented.
Prerequisite: Prerequisite: High school chemistry or CHE 101 equivalent. Pre or corequisite: MATH 111. Corequisite: CHE 204 (lab).

Lab accompanying class content in CHE 201.
Prerequisite: Corequisite: CHE 201.

Introduces the student to engineering with a focus on academic success, professional development, ethics, communication, and creative problem solving techniques, engineering tools (CAD/CAE), and design concepts. An discipline-specific team-based laboratory experience encourages consideration of a chosen engineering discipline.
Prerequisite: None

Theory, computational techniques and applications of the derivative.
Prerequisite: Prerequisite: MATH 112 with grade "C" or better or equivalent.

Projects in public speaking with emphasis on content, organization, and speaker adjustments to various situations; dynamics of the speaker-listener interaction; and appropriate language usage. Exercises in listening, criticism, logic, support, and ethics.
Prerequisite: None

Introduction to critical reasoning and analysis. Students explore connections between thesis, structurem tone and purpose; practice the writing process; and apply rhetorical strategies. Focus on academic reading, writing, and research skills.
Prerequisite: Prerequisite: Writing ability as demonstrated by SAT/ACT and/or writing sample.

A continuation of CHE 201. This course discusses the behavior of gases, liquids and solids, the properties of solutions, chemical kinetics, and an introduction to chemical equilibrium.
Prerequisite: Prerequisites: CHE 201 and CHE 204 (lab). Corequisite: CHE 205 (lab).

Lab accompanying class content in CHE 202.
Prerequisite: Corequisite: CHE 202.

THe student will focus on their chosen discipline through a discipline-specific team based design project including problem identification, measurement, analysis, and presentation to peers. Emphasis will be placed on proper usage of engineering tools and instruments and sound design practices.
Prerequisite: Prerequisite: ENGR 101.

Computational techniques for and applications of the definite and indefinite integrals.
Prerequisite: Prerequisite: MATH 251 with grade "C" or better.

Basic principles of physics with emphasis on applications of calculus. Newtonian mechanics, including kinematics, dyn amics, work, energy, power, and hydraulics. All general physics students must register for a laboratory section.
Prerequisite: Prerequisite: MATH 251 with grade "C" or better. Corequisite: MATH 252.

Graphical communication in civil engineering using computer aided drafting software. Emphasis on 2D with introductions to 3D methodologies, using industry standard software. Includes development of drawings related to civil engineering projects such as roads, subdivisions and buildings, development of scaled plots and reading of engineering drawings.
Prerequisite: None

Vectors, vector functions, and curves in two and three dimensions. Surfaces, partial derivatives, gradients, and directional derivatives. Multiple integrals using rectangular and other coordinate systems. Physical and geometric applications.
Prerequisite: Prerequisite: MATH 252 with grade "C" or better.
