Career Opportunities: |
The University of Georgia major in Civil Engineering (B.S.C.E.) provides students with an education in engineering and basic sciences, liberal arts, and engineering design. This combination prepares graduates with the ability to integrate knowledge from several disciplines including skills to analyze and design relevant systems for solving multifaceted problems. The graduates of this program have a deep knowledge of engineering, mathematical and environmental sciences, and the ability to develop new technological solutions for the increasingly complex built environment and infrastructure problems. Graduates will possess the skills to be contributing team members and leaders in business and the communities in which they reside. Graduates from the University of Georgia Civil Engineering undergraduate program will have career opportunities in structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, sustainable infrastructure design, water resources engineering, solid waste management and urban systems.

Special Requirements: |
All students must earn a grade of C (2.0) or higher in the following courses:
(BIOL 1103 or BIOL 1103E or BIOL 1104 or ECOL 1000 or ECOL 1000E or ECOL 1000H or FANR(MARS) 1100) or FANR(MARS) 1100E); [(CHEM 1211-1211D, CHEM 1211L) or (CHEM 1311H, CHEM 1311L)]; (ENGL 1101 or ENGL 1101E or ENGL 1101S); (ENGR 1120 or ENGR 1120E or ENGR 1120H); (ENGR 1140 or ENGR 1140H); ENGR 2110; (ENGR 2120 or ENGR 2120E or ENGR 2120H); (ENGR 2130 or ENGR 2130E); (ENGR 2140 or ENGR 2140E); (ENGR 3140 or ENGR 3140E); (ENGR 3160 or ENGR 3160E); (MATH 2250 or MATH 2250E or MATH 2400 or MATH 2400H); (MATH 2260 or MATH 2260E or MATH 2310H or MATH 2410 or MATH 2410H); (MATH 2500 or MATH 2500E); (MATH 2700 or MATH 2700E); (PHYS 1211-1211L or PHYS 1251 or PHYS 1311-1311L); and (PHYS 1212-1212L or PHYS 1252 or PHYS 1312-1312L).
Except for those Engineering courses requiring a grade of C (2.0) or better, a maximum of two courses with grades of D (1.0) for all courses with prefixes associated with the UGA College of Engineering (or courses for which a non-CENGR course is approved as a substitute in the program of study) may be used to satisfy graduation requirements. Competency in a computer programming language is expected and may be satisfied with ENGR 1140 or ENGR 1140E.
The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam is a graduation requirement for this degree program.

Scholarships: |
The College of Engineering offers more than forty scholarships annually for undergraduate students. A description of each of these scholarships is found on the College of Engineering website. The deadline to apply for scholarships is February 28 each year.

|
Cooperative Education: |
The College of Engineering offers the Cooperative Experiential Learning (Co-op) and Internship Program through the College's Office of Student Success. This program allows future engineers to apply their classroom knowledge, grow as professionals and become more marketable in the global engineering workforce. A co-op position provides students with the opportunity to work full time (40 hours per week) for an engineering company during a semester while they are still enrolled at UGA in an unbillable credit hour course. Students are able to connect the engineering theory they are learning in the classroom to a paid, supervised employment opportunity with a company. Part-time and full-time internships provide students the opportunity to work in a temporary hands-on position and are generally less than 40 hours per week. Both co-ops and internships offer optimum experiences and opportunities for students looking for addition preparation in the engineering workforce. Additional information about this program is found on the UGA College of Engineering website or by contacting the college's Office of Student Success.
