Abstract
These curriculum changes are regrouping 2 required courses and 2 technical elective courses into a selection of optional courses (choose 2 of the 4). It is anticipated that this will streamline graduation because there will be offerings both fall and spring within these courses allowing students more flexibility. This grouping of courses are in structural and environmental engineering, both areas that we are looking to emphasize in our program based on recent tenure track hires. We are also limiting our Math Elective to those covering probability and statistics to ensure students get adequate coverage in this area (a requirement for our accrediting body, ABET). Dr. Rick Ford indicated that he can accommodate this change. Because these are existing courses, it does not change how our program relates to the University's Strategic, Academic, or Diversity Action Plans.
7
This proposal from Civil Engineering has my full support as Acting Dean. The Department has pulled together a curriculum plan that allows students to progress more rapidly to graduation and one that honors the expertise of the junior faculty in the growing field of Environmental Engineering. These changes are supported by compelling arguments to work toward educating engineers that have the knowledge to positively affect the changes needed for our environment.
Sincerely- Dr. Melody Stapleton Acting Dean College of ECC

The Bachelor of Science in Civil
Engineering
Civil engineering graduates are well prepared for professional work or graduate school in
a broad spectrum of engineering activities. The program is balanced, stressing environmental engineering; soil mechanics and foundations; structural analysis and
design; surveying and mapping; transportation and traffic engineering; water resources and hydraulics. The program emphasizes quality undergraduate teaching and active student learning, including extensive use of laboratory and co-curricular activities.
Civil Engineering Program Mission
The civil engineering program prepares graduates for immediate entry into a variety of professional careers and provides a solid undergraduate foundation in general principles enabling continued education at advanced levels.
Civil Engineering Educational Objectives
Program educational objectives are broad statements that describe the career and professional accomplishments that the program is preparing graduates to achieve.
I. Secure a professional position in civil engineering and become a licensed engineer.
2. Attend graduate school in civil engineering or a related discipline to achieve a graduate degree in a specialty area.
3. Engage in lifelong learning though formal and informal professional development.
4. Assume management or leadership roles in their respective organization.
5. Contribute to society through involvement in service activity.
Civil Engineering Program Learning Outcomes
Program outcomes are narrower statements that describe what students are expected to
know and be able to do by the time of graduation. Students completing the civil engineering program must demonstrate:
(a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering, including: mathematics through differential equations, calculus-based physics, chemistry, biology, and four technical areas appropriate to civil engineering.

Civil Engineering Design Experience
The civil engineering program provides an essential balance of engineering science and design. Design content permeates the curriculum, beginning at a fundamental level in the lower division followed by a natural progression to comprehensive design in upper division courses. Fundamental design problems typically have a unique solution and may involve only a few, simple constraints. Comprehensive design incorporates a multitude of realistic constraints with a variety of possible outcomes commonly referred to as "open ended" design.
Required courses in the program provide proficiency in civil engineering design, beginning in the first year (CIVL 140 Transpo1tation Planning, Surveying, and Graphics) progressing to advanced design in the third and fourth years (CIVL 415 Reinforced Concrete Design, CIVL 431 Environmental Engineering, CIVL 441 Transportation Engineering, and CIVL 461 Water Resources Engineering), and culminating with
10
comprehensive design in the capstone ( e.g., CIVL 561 C Hydrology and Open Channel Hydraulics Capstone). This ensures a breadth of design experience that is further enhanced and focused in elective courses.
American Public Works Association Internship Program
The APW A Internship Program provides civil engineering students with valuable real world experiences. Participation in the program is elective but can be used for academic credit towards the degree. While students are responsible for finding their own internship opportunity, the Experiential Education Office is an excellent resource for locating companies interested in hiring interns. Additional information is available at the website.

Advising Requirement:
Advising is mandatory for all majors in this degree program. Consult your undergraduate advisor for specific information.
Honors in the Major:
Honors in the Major is a program of independent work in your major. It requires 6 units of honors course work completed over two semesters.
The Honors in the Major program allows you to work closely with a faculty mentor in your area of interest on an original performance or research project. This year-long collaboration allows you to work in your field at a professional level and culminates in a public presentation of your work. Students sometimes take their projects beyond the University for submission in professional journals, presentation at conferences, or academic competition. Such experience is valuable for graduate school and professional life. Your honors work will be recognized at your graduation, on your permanent transcripts, and on your diploma. It is often accompanied by letters of commendation from your mentor in the department or the department chair.
Some common features of Honors in the Major program are:
1. You must take 6 units of Honors in the Major course work. All 6 units are honors classes (marked by a suffix of H), and at least 3 of these units are independent study (399H, 499H, 599H) as specified by your department. You must complete each class with a minimum grade of B.
25
requirements for your major carefully, as there may be specific courses that must be included in these units.
3. Your cumulative GPA should be at least 3.5 or within the top 5% of majors in your department.
4. Your GPA in your major should be at least 3 .5 or within the top 5% of majors in your department.
5. Most students apply for or are invited to participate in Honors in the Major during the second semester of their junior year. Then they complete the 6 units of course work over the two semesters of their senior year.
6. Your honors work culminates with a public presentation of your honors project.
While Honors in the Major is part of the Honors Program, each department administers its own program. Please contact your major department or major advisor to apply.
Honors in Civil Engineering
The common elements of the Honors in the Major program listed above apply to Honors in Civil Engineering. Specific information for this program includes:
1. In addition to meeting the GPA requirements, you must be recommended by a faculty member.
2. Students who are admitted into the department's Honors in the Major program may elect to take any two upper-division civil engineering electives for honors credit. The honors section will be identified on your transcript. The courses are usually spread over two semesters. You must complete them with a minimum grade of Band maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 overall.
3. Each Honors in the Major class will require completion of the course plus an additional honors project and culminates with a public presentation of your honors project.

Meriam Library
Date: November 4, 2018
Subject: Library materials support for the proposed program changes in Civil Engineering
The Meriam Library currently holds over 10,000 print titles and 5,000 ebooks in the subject of Civil Engineering. The library also subscribes to 41 journals in the subject of Civil Engineering. T he library also subscribes to two databases covering Civil Engineering: The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and Compendex.
There maybe a need to subscribe to Environmental Engineering specific databases such as Greenfile, OnePetro, or Environmental Engineering Abstracts if research by students and faculty increases in the Environmental Engineering field. Additional funding would ne to be secured if this subject becomes more prolific at CSU, Chico.
As it stands now, the library will be able to support the proposed changes outlined in the proposal.
