Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering

Undergraduate Programs in Engineering

Freshman applicants should have completed four years of high school mathematics, one year of high school chemistry, and one year of high school physics. Students are also encouraged to include courses in mechanical drawing and computer programming.

Community college transfers should complete the sequence of mathematics, chemistry, physics, and engineering courses listed in freshman and sophomore years under the sample sequence of courses at the community college.

Civil Engineering

The curriculum provides a broad-based common core of engineering science and the essential civil engineering subjects. The students conclude with 15 units of upper-division electives where the primary emphasis is design, practical applications, and computer solutions in selected areas of civil engineering. Graduates of the civil engineering program are expected to have, within a few years of graduation:

• Established themselves as practicing professionals or engaged in graduate study in civil engineering or a related field.
• Become licensed civil engineers or made appropriate progress toward professional registration.

Students must complete 18 upper-division engineering units before registering for ENGR 696.

Courses are scheduled during the day as well as late afternoon and evening. Other information and assistance in selecting courses can be obtained from a major advisor in the School of Engineering, by calling (415) 338-1174, by emailing engrasst@sfsu.edu, or by writing to:
