civil Engineering Degree Plan
Concentration Advisor:
Prof. R.J. Clifton, B&H 608, x3-2855, clifton@engin.brown.edu
Educational Objectives:
The educational objectives of the Civil Engineering Program at Brown University are based on the mission of the institution, the possibilities that exist for a relatively small program, the capabilities and aspirations of the students, and regular surveys of how well our curriculum is serving our graduates. From these considerations we have established the following educational objectives.
- To provide an interdisciplinary foundation for distinctive careers, beginning with either entry level positions in structural and environmental areas of civil engineering or graduate study in these fields.
- To prepare graduates who are able to adapt to changing opportunities, both in engineering and in other professional and business pursuits.
- To motivate graduates for ethically responsible, lifelong commitments to learning and to service to the engineering community and society at large.
Concentration Requirements:
The common core program for the Sc.B. in Engineering, including an advanced science course as well as Engineering 0310 AND 0810.The requirement for the advanced science course is met by taking either Geological Sciences 1580 or 1590.
For students interested in Structures, the following courses must be included:
Engineering 1300, 1340, 1360, 1380, 1930C and 1940D (Civil Engineering Project; the latter two courses together count for one course credit), plus one additional course to be chosen from Engineering 1310, 1370, 1740, 1750, and 1860.
For students interested in Environmental Problems and Planning, the following courses must be included:
Engineering 1130, 1300, 1310, 1340, 1360, 1930C and 1940D (Civil Engineering Project; the latter two courses together count for one course credit). Attention is called to the following courses as particularly relevant technical electives: Engineering 1110, 1380, 1710, 1740, and 1860.
