You are strongly encouraged to discuss with your advisor how best to meet these requirements to avoid needing extra courses.
- Structural Elective: Choose between CE 432 or CE 434 or CE 417 Students interested in structural engineering may take all three; two will count was 8 credits of BSCE elective coursework.
- Transportation Elective: Choose one: CE 450, CE 458, CE 459, CE 462, or CE 493. At least three courses offered annually; use advising resources for term details. Additional courses count towards electives
- /L: a zero credit lab is a component of the indicated course.
