What is Michigan Techs civil engineering curriculum like?
Our curriculum is designed so you will complete your degree in four years. As a civil engineering student you will take first and second year math, engineering science, physics, chemistry, and fundamentals of engineering like other engineering majors. These background courses will build a strong foundation for your engineering degree. After this, you will take elective courses from the six specialty areas of civil engineering: construction, environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation, and water resources. You will then choose an additional elective in four of the six specialty areas. Beyond that can choose to specialize or remain broad in your selection of electives. We have attached a table to this letter that shows the civil engineering curriculum. Our comprehensive senior engineering design classes are “real-world” projects and we typically collaborate with practitioners. Over this past semester break, a group of 12 students went to South America with one of our faculty
