A list of generally used courses is available. In case of doubt, the department chairman shall determine suitability. ** An option consists of technical courses, at least 8 of which must make a coherent theme such as mathematics; biology; materials sci- ence; computer and information science; aerospace, agriculture, civil, coastal, electri- cal, environmental, mechanical or nuclear engineering; business, etc. Technical courses are defined as those with significant science and/or mathematical content. A list of suit- able courses is available. Military courses cannot be used for technical or nontechnical electives. Civil Engineering Civil Engineering is directly concerned with the activities of man and the environment. It is the oldest and most diverse branch of engineer- ing and includes the design and construction of bridges, buildings, dams, waterways, coastal protection works, airports, pipelines, missile launching facilities, blast shelters, railroads, highways, sanitary systems, ocean structures and facilities, foundations, harbors, waterworks, and many other systems and structures upon which modern civilization depends. In its broadest sense, the function of the civil engineer may be defined as the adaption of the physical features of the earth to the needs of man. Approximately one-fourth of all engineers are engaged in Civil Engineering. The concentration of population into cities, the mass use of the automobile and the airplane, the increasing demands of industry for greater quantities of power and the public's demand for' clean streams and beaches, for clean air, and the potential for human expansion into space and the oceans present the civil engineer with many challenging problems. To assist the young engineer to meet these challenges, the Civil Engineering department offers a basic program that provides the mini- mum education for practice in this broad field of engineering service to society. Beyond the bachelor's degree, advanced degrees may be obtained in several of the major areas of civil engineering such as transportation, hydraulics, structural engineering, soil mechanics, founda- tions, and construction. While it is essential that the civil engineer understand the fundamentals of his or her cho- sen field, it is also necessary that he or she understands the role other branches of engi- neering play in the completed work. The Civil Engineering curriculum therefore includes courses from other engineering disciplines, and because of this broad program, it provides an excellent basic engineering education. Thus, the student who is not sure which field of engineer- ing to choose is provided with the broadest of engineering backgrounds, a springboard, so to speak, to specialization. Degree Programs: The Civil Engineering department offers the following degrees: Bache- lor of Science in Civil Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Surveying and Mapping, Master of Civil Engineering, Master of Engineering, Mas- ter of Science, the Engineer degree, and Doctor of Philosophy. Curriculum Leading to the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering The program of study leading to the Bache- lor of Science in Civil Engineering has been established to meet the requirements for entry into the professional practice of civil engineer- ing and to meet the General Education require- ments of the University of Florida. The program is divided into two parts: a two year pre-engi- neering program and the upper division profes- sional portion. The pre-engineering requirement may be satisfied while classified as lower divi- sion in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences or with the pre-engineering Associate of Arts degree program offered by the various commu- nity colleges in Florida. Civil Engineering is a broad discipline of study that influences the life of all society. The requirements to enter the profession are rigor- ous, so the academic program is therefore longer than those of many other disciplines. The program requires completion of 143 semester hours, and most students should plan on an educational period of five years. All courses required for the BSCE degree will be listed in the University of Florida catalog with an indication of the probable term, fall or spring, in which they will be taught. Courses will be offered as announced but there is no cer- tainty they will be offered at other times during the year. Students should familiarize themselves with the degree requirements and arrange their schedules accordingly. Program counselors will assist the students in planning their programs. Admission Requirements Applicants should understand that admis- sion to this program is a selective process. Admission will be based on a student's whole record including education objectives, courses completed, and quality of academic record. Pri- ority in admission will be given to those stu- dents whose potential on the basis of the entire record indicates the greatest likelihood of suc- cess in the program. Applicants should have a pre-engineering program grade point average of 2.0 or higher. A minimum grade of C is required in all chem- istry, calculus, and physics with calculus cours- es, all English courses, and any upper division courses taken prior to admission to the Civil Engineering department. Department Requirements A minimum grade of C is required for all courses marked with an asterisk (*) in the fol- lowing list and for those courses which are pre- requisite to other courses in the curriculum. A grade point average of 2.0 is the minimum required for all civil engineering courses, for all upper division work, and all University of Flori- da courses. In addition, all BSCE students must take the Engineering Intern (EI) exam offered by the Department of Professional Regulation prior to graduation. EGM 3420-Engineering Mech- anics is not acceptable toward fulfilling the Stat- ics and Dynamics requirement. Probation and Exclusion Policy A BSCE student who falls below a 2.00 GPA upper division or university cumulative, or fails to make satisfactory progress, will be placed on academic probation requiring a planned pro- gram. If this program is not met, a Written request must be made to the department's Com- mittee for Admission and Retention Appeals explaining why satisfactory progress has not been made and what circumstances have changed to indicate that improvements will be made in future terms. Students on academic probation must have the department chairperson's permission to pre- register. Any student who has failed to satisfactorily meet the planned program or who is a civil engineering major but pursuing a degree in another department may be excluded from the Department of Civil Engineering. Further, any student who is enrolled in an upper division college other than Engineering, may be dropped from civil engineering class rolls. A student who has registered for a course for which the prerequisite requirement has not been met, will be dropped from the class roll.
