Admission Requirements
Requirements for admission as a Civil Engineering major are governed
by the requirements stated under the College of Engineering section
of this catalog.
All entering students majoring in Civil Engineering
are admitted as Pre-CE or CE pre-professional majors, permitting
the student to enroll only in pre-professional courses. Students
completing the Pre-Professional Course Sequence (first two years
of the degree program) must meet the academic requirements specified
by the College of Engineering and the department prior to requesting
permission for admission to the Professional Program. The Civil
and Environmental Engineering Department requires a 2.0 overall
grade point average on a 4.0 scale, a 2.0 average in the required
engineering, science and math courses, and a 2.0 in CE courses.
Application for admission to the Professional Program is made to
the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Appropriate
forms may be obtained from the departmental office.
Prior Preparation
and
Course Requirements
The undergraduate baccalaureate degree in civil engineering is a
four-year program and requirements for the degree are based upon
prior high school preparation through either an honors or college
track program. Students who have not had the appropriate prior preparation
should contact the departmental advising office for a curriculum
guide that will assist them in structuring a study plan that will
include leveling courses. Students requiring leveling courses may
require a period of time greater than four years to complete their
undergraduate degree.
Program of Study Leading
to Masters Degree
Problems of increasing complexity in the modern technological world
are challenging the engineering profession. More and more students
are extending their education beyond the undergraduate degree to
develop the qualifications required to assimilate and apply rapidly
changing technology to the needs of a changing modern so ciety in
the 21st century. In many areas of civil engineering, the masters
degree is essential for the modern practice of engineering.
A recommended five-year plan of study leading
to the masters degree at the end of the fifth year of study
is available in the departmental advising office. Academically strong
and well-motivated students should explore the possibility of continuing
their education by pursuing a masters degree in one of the
areas of concentration within civil engineering. The departmental
graduate advisor is available to discuss options available to the
student.
Academic Requirements
Academic performance requirements establishing satisfactory progress
and grade point requirements are given in the College of Engineering
section of this catalog.
Departmental Policy
Advising
Civil engineering majors are required to be advised by an assigned
advisor during the period set aside each semester by the College
of Engineering for this purpose. Students are responsible for meeting
with their advisors during the advising period. Periods set aside
for advising and registration are entirely different, and students
who do not meet with their advisors during the regular advising
period may not be able to complete registration. All students should
consult the departmental bulletin board for advisors names
and periods set aside for advising.
Transfer students registering for the first time
are advised separately prior to the beginning of the semester they
enroll in courses. They should contact the department to set up
an appointment for advising with the departmental undergraduate
transfer advisor prior to registration.
Transfer Students and Transfer
Credit
When a student transfers, a loss of credit can occur and his/her
academic plans may have to be changed. Courses that appear to be
similar may be different in either content or level of difficulty
and, as a result, cannot be used for degree credit. When a students
record indicates weakness in certain areas of study, he/she will
be required to retake courses or to take additional courses. Transfer
students should contact the Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering after admission and prior to registration.
Prior to advising, a transfer student must present
to the Undergraduate Advisor a transcript (official or copy) from
each school previously attended. Only the equivalent courses in
a program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering
and Technology (ABET) or equivalent freshman and sophomore courses
accepted by the department can be counted toward a degree in civil
engineering. To be acceptable as an equivalent course, it must be
equivalent to our corresponding course in credit value and course
content. Transfer credit that constitutes a part of a continuing
sequence in the same field will be validated only upon satisfactory
completion of the following courses in the sequence at The University
of Texas at Arlington. Junior and senior
level courses taken at a college or university which does not have
a civil engineering program accredited by ABET cannot be used to
satisfy the requirements for a degree in civil engineering.
A student who has been admitted to The University
of Texas at Arlington and has enrolled in the Department of Civil
and Environmental Engineering cannot enroll in courses at another
college or university and take courses for transfer credit toward
a degree in civil engineering. In some instances, a student may
obtain prior written permission from the Chair of the Department
of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Repeating Courses
Civil Engineering majors (Pre-CE or CE) may not attempt any course
more than three times and apply that course toward a degree in civil
engineering. Enrollment in a course for a period of time sufficient
for assignment of a grade, including a grade of W, is considered
an attempt.
Competence in Oral
Communication and Computer Use
Completion of SPCH 3302, Professional and Technical Communication,
with a grade of C or better, is required to earn a degree in civil
engineering. Also, successful completion of SPCH 3302 meets the
Universitys oral communication requirement.
All civil engineering students are required to complete CE 1348,
Civil Engineering Practice, with a grade of C or better. Successful
completion of the course satisfies the Universitys computer
literacy requirement.

Overview: Educational and Professional
Career Paths
Civil engineering is the oldest and broadest of the engineering
disciplines. A civil engineer works with a wide spectrum of individuals
in both the public and private sectors to meet todays challenges
of pollution, infrastructure rehabilitation, traffic congestion,
floods, earthquakes, and urban development. Civil engineers plan,
design, and construct facilities essential to modern, civilized
human life. Projects requiring civil engineering expertise vary
widely in nature, size, and scope, such as: space vehicles, launch
facilities, offshore structures, bridges, tunnels, transportation
systems, dams, airports, water treatment and distribution, buildings,
skyscrapers, foundations, hazardous waste treatment, environmental
remediation, environmental protection, and pollution control.
Civil engineering graduates are prepared for
a wide range of career paths such as environmental; transportation
systems; or the synthesis, planning, design, and construction of
facilities essential for modern life, yet, delicately balanced with
the natural environment. Or, they may take advantage of their strong,
broad-based engineering education to pursue careers in professions
such as medicine, law, business, or teaching.
