- If you do not place into MTH 114 Unified Calculus I the prerequisites are MTH 100 Intro. to College Mathematics and MTH 113 College Algebra with Trig. Math Placement is determined by the Mathematics Department. These courses should be taken in high school or the summer before your first semester at ECC.
Notes:
- For an explanation of why General Education courses are included in this Program, please refer to the Section on General Education for an explanation of its Purpose and Requirements.
- This plan assumes the student is eligible to enroll in College Level Courses (designated as 100 +, e.g., ENG 101 College Composition I, HST 101 World Civilization I, MTH 100 Intro. to College Mathematics). Placement results will determine College Level Readiness in English and Mathematics.
Graduates of this program will demonstrate:
- Employment in the field of civil engineering or related field; and
- Engagement in continuing education, including advanced degrees.
Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:
- Apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve well-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
- Design solutions for well-defined technical problems and assist with the engineering design of systems, components, or processes appropriate to the discipline;
- Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in well-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
- Conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results;
- Function effectively as a member of a technical team;
- Utilize principles, hardware, and software that are appropriate to produce drawings, reports, quantity estimates, and other documents related to civil engineering;
- Perform standardized field and laboratory tests related to civil engineering;
- Utilize surveying methods appropriate for land measurement and/or construction layout; and
- Apply fundamental computational methods and elementary analytical techniques in sub-disciplines related to civil engineering.
