课程

新大土木工程专业的一年级学生从英语基础课程开始学习, 化学, 数学, and an introduction to the engineering 科学s. Second-year courses become more specific with an emphasis on surveying, 数学, 物理, 以及工程科学课程. The third-year students preview the specialization areas of civil engineering. These are (1) 环境工程, (2)岩土, (3)结构, (4)运输, (5)水资源. 大四继续要求某些课程，但也提供12小时的技术选修课和高级设计项目. 技术选修课允许学生选修土木工程领域的额外课程，她/他/他们打算在这些领域进行专业实践. 目前, 有51门核心土木工程和技术选修课程供学生选择.

加速程序

加速课程为土木工程专业的在读学生提供了在5年内完成土木工程硕士学位(MSCE)的机会(比学士学位多一年)。. The accelerated Master's program requires at least a total of 30 semester credits. 土木工程学士课程最多9个学分(三门课程)可以重复计算到MSCE课程中. However, these courses must be taken at the 600- or 700-level. 从这个意义上说, the interested students could accelerate the Master's study by reducing three courses, 这样他们就可以在一年内修完剩余的21个学分并完成硕士论文并毕业, 而土木工程学士学位的技术选修课程的总学分和设计学分要求保持不变.

教师

The department has well-qualified and dedicated faculty members. They are nationally and internationally recognized experts, with the knowledge and experience to prepare graduates for successful careers. All faculty members in the department have a doctoral degree. Many are licensed as a Professional Engineer (PE) or Certified Professional Contractor (CPC). 除了, 该系有许多曾在该行业工作或目前在该行业工作的兼职教员.

设施

本系拥有完善的实验室设施，适合各类民用本科教育, 环境, 建筑区域, including the teaching laboratories for civil engineering materials, construction management and engineering, 环境工程, 岩土工程, 结构工程, 交通运输工程, 水利工程, . 学生还可以使用计算机集群和许多最先进的研究实验室.

学生组织

Students participate in various professional student organizations in the department, which helps them develop leadership skills and the ability to work in teams. 主要学生组织包括:美国印第安人科学与工程学会(AISES), American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA), American Society of 土木工程师s (ASCE), American Water Works Association (AWWA), Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), 无国界工程师组织(EWB), 新大大挑战学者, 人类家园, Institute of 运输工程师s (ITE), 材料研究学会, National Association of 首页 Builders (NAHB), National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), Sigma Lambda Chi (ΣΛΧ), 女工程师学会(SWE), and Water Environment Federation (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. The student organizations have won several national and regional awards.

准备

希望在大学阶段学习工程的高中生应该尝试完成以下高中学分:一个物理单元, 四个数学单位, 还有一个化学单元. 准备学习微积分的新生通常会在四年内完成他们的土木工程学位. 在另一个机构学习了两年工程预科的转学生通常会在另外两年完成土木工程学位.

奖学金和经济援助

该系每年颁发大量奖学金，金额从500美元到1万美元不等. Students should check with the department for more information. 其他形式的经济援助可以通过财政援助和奖学金办公室获得.

职业发展机会

NDSU civil engineers are widely regarded as hands-on, 乐观进取的, 项目的毕业生, who are very successful in finding excellent jobs. Our students are highly sought for internships and co-ops, with most students having completed multiple work experiences. Most have selected a job before graduation and others within a few weeks of graduation. The work varies with the type of activity and location. Civil engineers can work in the office and/or in the field. They can work primarily on intricate designs or with people in management or sales.

新大土木工程专业毕业生的就业情况表明，他们的工作经验丰富. 大约40%的毕业生去了咨询工程公司工作，另外40%在城市工作, 州政府, and federal governments The remainder are employed by industry, 承包商, and the military or have gone to 研究生院 at NDSU or other universities. Most graduates are involved in more than one type of civil engineering activity. Job placement of graduates seeking employment is 98-100 percent in recent semesters. 最近土木工程专业毕业生的起薪在6.5万至8.5万美元之间. 美国.S. 美国劳工统计局(Bureau of Labor Statistics)预计，从2022年到2032年，土木工程师的就业率将增长5%，高于所有职业的平均增长率(3%)。.
