课程

First-year civil engineering students at NDSU begin their education with fundamental courses in English, 化学, 数学, 以及对工程科学的介绍. 第二年的课程更加具体，重点是测量, 数学, 物理, 以及工程科学课程. 三年级学生预习土木工程专业领域. 这些是(1)环境工程, (2)岩土, (3)结构, (4)运输, (5)水资源. The senior year continues to require certain courses but also provides 12 hours of technical electives and a senior design project. The technical electives allow the student to take additional courses in those areas of civil engineering in which she/he/they intend to practice professionally. 目前, there are 51 core civil engineering and technical elective courses from which the student may choose.

加速程序

The accelerated program provides opportunities for current students in the 土木工程 program to complete a Master's degree in 土木工程 (MSCE) in 5 years (one additional year beyond the BS degree). 加速硕士课程要求至少总共30个学期学分. Up to 9 credits (three courses) from the 土木工程 BS program can be double counted to the MSCE program. 然而，这些课程必须达到600或700级. 从这个意义上说, 有兴趣的学生可以通过减少三门课程来加速硕士的学习, so they could complete the remaining 21 credits plus the completion of the Master's thesis and graduate in one year, while the total and design credit requirements for the technical elective courses stay the same for the 土木工程 BS degree.

教师

该系拥有高素质、敬业的教职员工. 他们是国内和国际公认的专家, 为毕业生提供成功的职业生涯所需的知识和经验. 该系所有教员均具有博士学位. 许多人获得了专业工程师(PE)或认证专业承包商(CPC)的许可。. 除了, the department has many adjunct faculty members who worked or are currently working in the industry.

设施

The department has excellent laboratory facilities for undergraduate education across all civil, 环境, 建筑区域, 包括土木工程材料教学实验室, 施工管理与工程, 环境工程, 岩土工程, 结构工程, 交通运输工程, 水利工程, . Students also have access to computer clusters and many state-of-the-art research laboratories.

学生组织

学生参加各种专业的学生组织在部门, 这有助于他们培养领导技能和团队合作能力. The major student organizations include: American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES), 美国铁路工程与道路养护协会, 美国土木工程师学会(ASCE), 美国水务协会(AWWA), 美国总承包商协会(AGC), 无国界工程师组织(EWB), 新大大挑战学者, 人类家园, 运输工程师学会(ITE), 材料研究学会, 全国住宅建筑商协会(NAHB), 全国黑人工程师学会, Sigma Lambda Chi (ΣΛΧ), 女工程师学会(SWE), 和水环境联合会(WEF), 以及钢桥, 具体的独木舟, 联合建筑学院, 住宅建筑管理, GeoWall, 和智力竞赛碗比赛队伍. 学生组织多次获得国家和地区奖项.

准备

高 school students who wish to prepare for some phase of engineering at the college level should attempt to complete the following high school credits: one unit of 物理, 四个数学单位, 还有一个化学单元. Incoming freshmen prepared to enroll in calculus frequently complete their civil engineering degree in four years. Transfer students who have studied two years of pre-engineering at another institution typically complete the civil engineering degree in two additional years.

奖学金和经济援助

The department awards numerous scholarships each year, which mostly range from $500 to $10,000. 学生们应该向院系查询更多信息. Other forms of financial aid are available through the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships.

职业发展机会

NDSU的土木工程师被普遍认为是动手能力强的, 乐观进取的, 项目的毕业生, 谁在找到好工作方面非常成功. 我们的学生在实习和合作项目中很受欢迎, 大多数学生都有过多次工作经历. 大多数人在毕业前就选择了工作，有些人在毕业后的几周内就选择了工作. 工作因活动类型和地点而异. 土木工程师可以在办公室和/或在现场工作. 他们主要从事复杂的设计工作，或者与管理人员或销售人员一起工作.

Job placement of recent NDSU civil engineering graduates indicates a variety of work experience. 乐虎电子 40 percent of the graduates have gone to work for consulting engineering firms and another 40 percent with city, 州政府, 其余的受雇于工业部门, 承包商, 或者在新大或其他大学读过研究生. 大多数毕业生从事不止一种类型的土木工程活动. 最近几个学期，毕业生的就业率为98- 100%. The starting annual salaries for recent civil engineering graduates were between $65,000 and $85,000. 美国.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 5-percent growth in employment for civil engineers from 2022 to 2032 which is above the average growth rate for all occupations (3 percent).
