The Civil Engineering Department offers a Civil Engineering Program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree, a Construction Engineering and Management Program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree, and a Civil Engineering Program leading to a Master of Science degree.
The Civil Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria, and the Program Criteria for Civil and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
The Geospatial Engineering Option in the Civil Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria, the Program Criteria for Civil and Similarly Named Engineering Programs, and the Program Criteria for Surveying and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
The Construction Engineering and Management program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria, and the Program Criteria for Construction and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
The Construction Engineering and Management program is also accredited by the Applied and Natural Science Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria, and the Program Criteria for Construction Management and Similarly Named Programs.
The Civil Engineering program prepares graduates to enter the profession in planning, design, construction, operations, or management capacities on such projects as freeways, highways, major buildings, dams, bridges, aqueducts, pipelines, airports, hydro-electric installations, water treatment plants, sewage treatment plants, flood control works, and urban development programs. The department offers three options: the general civil engineering option; the environmental engineering option; and the geospatial engineering option.
All options provide broad background in the various aspects of the civil engineering profession. The environmental engineering option emphasizes solving water resources and environmental problems. The geospatial engineering option prepares students to succeed in the land surveying and geomatics profession.
Student projects and field trips are utilized to demonstrate practical applications of classroom and laboratory theory and analysis. Interactions with professional engineering technical groups and societies offer excellent opportunities for student contact with experienced, practicing engineers.
Civil Engineering graduates are employed by governmental agencies at federal, state, and municipal levels, by engineering contractors, and by private consulting firms. These graduates are prepared to do productive work in their first job as well as to develop within their profession throughout their engineering career. The curriculum is designed to prepare a student for direct entry into the engineering profession, professional registration, and for graduate school.
Starting Fall 2018, the name of the Construction Engineering Technology Program changed to Construction Engineering and Management. The Construction Engineering and Management Program offers comprehensive construction education for cultivating construction engineers, as well as industry leaders. The Construction Engineering and Management Program provides the student with a firm background in construction practices. Graduates may eventually work in any area of construction including commercial, heavy-civil, and residential. Construction Engineering and Management graduates work with owners, developers, architects, engineers (civil, mechanical, and electrical), building departments, governmental agencies, contractors, and subcontractors to implement a variety of construction projects. Job titles include field engineer, project engineer, superintendent, as well as estimator, scheduler, and project manager.
Students in the Construction Engineering and Management Program receive training in construction materials, drafting, computer applications, construction surveying, structural design, soil mechanics, construction equipment, estimating, scheduling, accounting, project management, safety and law.
The Construction Engineering and Management Program has close ties with the construction industry. The student organization in the Construction Engineering and Management Program includes Associated General Contractors (AGC), Construction Management Association of America (CMAA), the Construction Engineering and Management Association (CEMA), Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA), National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), and North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT). This program offers a number of construction scholarships, and students may apply for grants based on financial need and/or academic achievement. Additional information on the Construction Engineering and Management Program can be found on the web at https://www.cpp.edu/engineering/ce/bscem.shtml.
The Master of Science in Civil Engineering Program builds upon an undergraduate education and facilitates more advanced study in one of the branches of civil engineering. Students must select one of five options: Construction Engineering and Management, Environmental and Water Resources Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Engineering, and Transportation Engineering.
Vision Statement
Provide the best civil engineering learning experience.
Mission Statement
To meet the challenges of an evolving society, we provide practice-oriented civil engineering education that fosters personal, professional, and social responsibility; technical excellence and creativity; and effective communication, teamwork and leadership.
Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Program Educational Objectives
Our graduates will be practicing professionals who:
- Develop a career as an engineer, surveyor, and/or manager in the civil engineering, construction, or engineering related fields.
- Maintain and promote professional competency, via professional licensure and life-long learning through continuing education, graduate studies, and participation in professional societies.
- Practice the profession of engineering, taking into consideration the ethical, political, economical, legal, environmental, and societal impacts of their decisions.
Bachelor of Science in Construction Engineering and Management Program Educational Objectives
These outcomes follow the mission of the Construction Engineering and Management Program to provide a world class education in construction engineering that ties the latest advancement of research in the discipline to practical knowledge that services our graduates, industry, and community at large. In addition, these outcomes meet the program educational objectives of the Construction Engineering and Management Program (assessed via an alumni survey three or more years after CPP students complete their Bachelor of Science in Construction Engineering and Management degree) to develop engineers who:
- Develop a career as an engineer, surveyor, and/or manager in the civil engineering, construction, or engineering related fields.
- Maintain and promote professional competency, via professional licensure and life-long learning through continuing education, graduate studies, and participation in professional societies.
- Practice the profession of engineering, taking into consideration the ethical, political, economical, legal, environmental, and societal impacts of their decisions.
Civil Engineering and Construction Engineering and Management students are encouraged to become active in the student chapters of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Structural Engineering Association of Southern California, Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI), California Land Surveyors Association, Society of Environmental Engineers, CalGeo, Associated General Contractors (AGC), Construction Management Association of America (CMAA), the Construction Engineering and Management Association (CEMA), Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA), National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT), and the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Qualified students are invited to join the student chapter of Chi Epsilon, the national civil engineering honor society.
