University of Nebraska-LincolnRequirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science

in Civil Engineering on the Lincoln and Omaha campuses

The Civil Engineering program is a Bachelor of Science degree program offered on both the Lincoln and Omaha campuses and administered by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s College of Engineering. The requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering are essentially the same for both campuses and are shown on a semester by semester basis. The differences between the campuses are primarily course numbers for courses outside of Civil Engineering. For these courses, the campus specific course numbers are provided. While the Civil & Environmental Engineering Department has designed the Civil Engineering curriculum to be essentially the same for both campuses, students should work with their academic advisor to make sure that all courses will transfer between campuses if the student desires to take classes on both campuses.

Mission of the Civil & Environmental Engineering DepartmentOur mission is to provide a culturally diverse and intellectually stimulating environment for the discovery and application of knowledge in civil and environmental engineering; to educate our students to their fullest potential; and to serve the public through outreach and professional activities. In particular, the mission involves:

Providing the nation with a new generation of engineers that can meet the challenges of the 21st century, particularly related to civil infrastructure;

Serving the state of Nebraska and the nation by providing state-of-the-art expertise in civil engineering; Making important contributions in various areas of civil engineering by advancing existing knowledge

and developing new technologies; Facilitating the enrichment of the academic and professional experience of students, faculty, and the

AttentionThis advising packet has been developed to help you correctly interpret and follow the official curriculum for the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering degree. While every attempt has been made to ensure that the information in this advising packet is correct and consistent with the requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering degree as stated in the UNL bulletin, all students wishing to receive a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering degree from UNL on either the Lincoln or Omaha campuses must comply with the requirements of the degree as stated in the UNL bulletin at https://catalog.unl.edu/undergraduate/engineering/civil/.

Requirements for your Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering degree are based on your UNL undergraduate catalog year, whether you are taking classes in Omaha or Lincoln. Your catalog year is typically the year you entered the UNL College of Engineering. Students may also elect to switch to the requirements of a subsequent catalog year. Reverting to the requirements of a prior catalog year is not allowed.

For students on the Lincoln campus, your year of record may be found under the “Academics” tab of your MyRED account where it is referred to as your “Requirement Term”. For students on the Omaha campus, your year of record may be found in MavLink, under DegreeWorks. On the same line that says BS in Civil Engineering, it will also say your Catalog Year.

Students are expected to read and understand the College of Engineering Policies which can be found at: https://catalog.unl.edu/undergraduate/engineering/ and http://catalog.unomaha.edu/undergraduate/college-engineering/.

Lincoln Campus OnlyCIVE 498 (Special Topics in Civil Engineering), Calculus II Supplement (1 credit)

This course was added to the CIVE curriculum in Fall 2013 to balance the credit reduction in MATH 107 from 5 to 4 credits on the Lincoln campus. The MATH 107 equivalent on the Omaha campus remains 5 credits. The Civil Engineering program requirements must match on both the Lincoln and Omaha campuses. Below are options an advisor may recommend to the College of Engineering to substitute for CIVE 498.

Unused credits from a math or science class (PHYS 221, etc.); Any one credit science or math class (GEOL 260, etc.) Unused credits from additional ROTC classes; Unused credit from other ACE classes that are above and beyond the minimum requirements; Unused credit (for the CIVE degree) from a minor or a second major; A student without suitable unused credits may attend a 1-credit CIVE graduate seminar to receive CIVE

498 credit.

ACE ElectivesAll Civil Engineering students must take at least 15 credits of ACE electives. The 15 total ACE Elective credit hours must be satisfied by choosing one course from each of the listed ACE areas 5-9. One course can be considered satisfying only one area even though it may be listed in different ACE areas.

Students in Lincoln are encouraged to find the ACE course listing on the following website: https://ace.unl.edu/courses

Students in Omaha should use the tables shown on the following pages.

Education Abroad ParticipationStudents in engineering are encouraged to participate in UNL’s Education Abroad programs. These programs can be found at https://educationabroad.unl.edu/. Be sure to work with your advisor to understand exactly how participation in an education abroad program might affect your required coursework for the Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering.

Graduate Credit for SeniorsUndergraduate seniors in Lincoln or Omaha may enroll in up to 12 hours of credit for graduate courses taken in addition to the courses necessary for their undergraduate degree, provided that these credits are earned the calendar year prior to receipt of the Bachelor of Science degree.

OMAHA: To take graduate courses for graduate credit in Omaha, you need to do the following:1. Complete the Graduate Credit Form at: http://www.unomaha.edu/graduate-studies/_files/resquest-

register-graduate-classes-seniors.pdf2. Student will work with their civil engineering faculty advisor to complete this form.3. This form will activate a student’s non-degree graduate account to allow them to register for graduate

classes on the Omaha campus.4. Once a student’s graduate registration record is active in MavLINK, they’ll be able to register for their

800-level graduate course. Graduate courses along with the GPA will be posted separately from a student’s undergraduate record.

LINCOLN: In Lincoln, before registering, seniors must obtain approval for the Dean of Graduate Studies on the “Hold for Credit Form”, available in 1100 Seaton Hall. Holding graduate credit keeps a senior registered as a member of the undergraduate college and allows one to continue any undergraduate scholarship or financial aid awarded. Courses taken before you graduate do not always transfer as graduate credit at other institutions nor can there be a guarantee from the Office of Graduate Studies that these courses would apply toward a particular graduate program.

MinorsSome Civil Engineering students choose to add a minor to their degree program. Consult the UNL Undergraduate Catalog (https://catalog.unl.edu/undergraduate/) or the UNOmaha Undergraduate Catalog (https://catalog.unomaha.edu/undergraduate/) for the specific requirements for each minor.

A minor will not reduce or alter the existing course or degree requirements for the Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil Engineering of students electing to pursue a minor. See the Undergraduate Catalog for the College of Engineering polices related to minors. Consult with your academic advisor to develop a plan for incorporating a minor into your program of study.

Procedure for Declaring a Minor Contact a College of Engineering advisor in Engineering Student Services. An advisor will discuss the requirements for the minor and make recommendations for seeing an advisor in the minor department as well.

Common Civil Engineering MinorsCivil Engineering students have minored in subjects from art history to urban forestry. The most common minors for civil engineering majors are business, math, and construction management. If you decide to pursue a minor you are likely to need to complete more credits than the 130 credits required for the BS in Civil Engineering. Careful planning with a College of Engineering advisor can minimize the additional credits needed for a minor.

Process to GraduateAll Students must follow the following process to graduate:

1. Meet requirements for acceptance into the College of Engineering and follow the General College of Engineering Policies.

Students are expected to read and understand the College of Engineering Policies which can be found at: https://catalog.unl.edu/undergraduate/engineering/ and http://catalog.unomaha.edu/undergraduate/college-engineering/. Selected College of Engineering Policies include:

Students may take any one College of Engineering course a maximum of two times. In addition, Engineering students and students from other colleges may repeat a maximum of three College of

Engineering courses with “D” or “F” grades. The minimum cumulative GPA required to stay in good standing in the College of Engineering is a

2.400. Students with lower than a 2.400 cumulative GPA will be removed from the College of Engineering and are not permitted to enroll in additional Engineering courses. Students must earn a 2.400 cumulative GPA or better to be readmitted to the College of Engineering but should be aware that the preferred minimum cumulative GPA requirement for the Civil Engineering Degree Program is 2.700.

At least 30 of the last 36 credits needed for a degree must be registered for and completed at UNO or UNL while identified with the College of Engineering. This means that, practically speaking, the last year of a student’s work must be spent in residence.

2. Meet requirements for acceptance into the Civil Engineering Program.

Pre-professionally admitted College of Engineering students majoring in civil engineering must have their academic records reviewed for professional admission to the Civil Engineering Degree Program during the fall, spring or summer immediately following the term in which:

At least 12 credits (one semester) have been completed after admission to the College of Engineering;

At least 43 credits applicable to the degree have been earned; and PHYS 211 (PHYS 2110) General Physics I, MECH 223 (MECH 2230) Engineering Statics, MECH

325 (MECH 3250) Mechanics of Elastic Bodies and MECH 373 (MECH 3730) Engineering Dynamics have been completed.

Additionally, the student can have no more than two declined professional admission requests to other engineering majors. It is likely a student may need to complete four full semesters of credits applying to the Program before these requirements are able to be completed.

Professional admission approval to the Civil Engineering Degree Program also requires that all of the following Departmental-specific criteria must be met:

Earn a “C” grade or above in PHYS 211 or PHYS 2110, MECH 223 or MECH 2230, MECH 325 or MECH 3250, and MECH 373 or MECH 3730;

Earn a “C” grade or above in ALL math, science and engineering courses required for the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering degree if your GPA is less than 2.700.

Students who meet or exceed the requirements above will receive a letter of acceptance into the program which will allow them to enroll in 400-level civil engineering courses. If requirements are not met, students must improve their GPA, retake courses, or change majors. Students who do not meet

172019 - 2020


https://catalog.unl.edu/undergraduate/engineering/



the requirements listed above will receive a letter explaining that they were not admitted, and which requirement they have not met. Until a student is admitted into the program they are not permitted to enroll in 400-level Civil Engineering courses.

Once a student is professionally admitted, they will be assigned a faculty advisor. Once assigned a faculty advisor, contact them an appointment to discuss your schedule, enrollment, or any other academic questions or concerns you may have. If there is a different Civil Engineering faculty advisor you would like to meet with instead, send an email to the faculty member asking if they would be your advisor. If they approve, contact Dr. Dave Admiral ([email protected]) in Lincoln or Dr. George Hunt ([email protected]) in Omaha to officially change advisors.

3. Prepare to Graduate

When a student has preregistered for their final semester, the student and his/her advisor should complete a senior check. Students should use the on-line degree audit system (through MyRED in Lincoln or MavLink in Omaha) to monitor their progress. After preregistration for his/her last semester, the student must confirm that the on-line degree audit states that all degree requirements have been met. If the on-line degree audit system does not state that all degree requirements have been met, the student should meet with their advisor as soon as possible.

In Lincoln, at the beginning of the final semester, the student must complete a form to apply for graduation. Deadline dates for the application and a copy of the form are available at http://registrar.unl.edu/graduation-application. The process can also be completed at Graduation Services, Room 109, Canfield Administration Building.

In Omaha, the student must complete an Application for Degree during the semester in which you plan to complete all degree requirements. Log into MavLINK and fill out the application on or before the deadline for that Commencement Ceremony. The Apply for Degree link is located on the left side of the page under the Academic side bar menu.
