• CIVL 103: Intro to Civil Engineering

  1.00 Credits

  The Citadel

  
  The engineering design process is demonstrated through use of practical problem-solving methods for public infrastructure and built environment proj- ects. Course subjects include civil engineering career paths, ethical canons of the engineering profession, and requirements for professional licensure. Course assignments, conducted within a collaborative learning environment, focus on creative engineering solutions through technical analysis, teamwork, communica- tion skills, and professionalism. As a foundation for sustained success in civil engineering, additional course topics include: lifelong learning, time management, community and professional service, and career development. Laboratory: two hours.
