Северо-Восточный университет, BS, Civil Engineering

Our curriculum has been designed accordingly to provide our graduates with important knowledge, skills, and experiences. First, you gain an understanding of the natural and cultural world. A foundation in math and basic science is essential to understanding engineering principles, and makes the Northeastern education one that can keep pace with the advances in this dynamic field. Students learn to appreciate the cultural and political context in which engineering takes place and to understand the social and environmental impacts of engineering projects. Second, you become technically prepared for engineering practice. Our students acquire a common base of knowledge in the engineering sciences, including mechanics and environmental science. You will learn to analyze and design building frames and bridges, water and wastewater treatment systems, highways and traffic systems, hydraulic systems, earth dams, building foundations, and construction management techniques. Our program emphasizes sustainable engineering practices that limit environmental impacts and resource consumption, particularly in urban contexts. Our curriculum is designed to give our students: Proficiency in at least four areas of civil engineering, Design experience in at least two areas of civil engineering, and A culminating design project that requires depth in one area of civil engineering.
