The College of Engineering - Civil & Environmental Engineering
Curriculum
Our curriculum was designed with help from a prestigious group of engineering educators. We've continued to update it to give our students the best education possible. Perhaps the most innovative part of the curriculum is the clinics, in which students get hands-on and real-world experience.
The CEE curriculum is given below. Check out minimum grade requirements and course pre-reqs.

General Education Courses (Gen Ed) Engineers have different general education requirements from the rest of the University. Engineers are required to take four elective Gen Ed courses. Two must be history, humanities, or languages (HHL), one must be social and behavioral science (SBS) and one must be in the arts (ACE). Of those four courses, one must also be multicultural and global (M/G) and one must also be literature intensive (LIT). It is possible to find a single course that is both M/G and LIT. While M/Gs are well distributed through the HHLs, SBSs and ARTs, LITs are concentrated mostly in HHLs. You can find a list of Gen Ed courses of interest to engineers at the Registrar's site (Select "Click here to view the (Years) General Education and Rowan Experience Guide"). However, please note that this guide is for non-engineering majors. Only use it to identify course that are HHL, SBS, ACE, LIT and/or M/G. You can also use the BANNER course schedule or catalog to determine if an individual course is on any of the GEN ED lists. Prereq can also be identified using banner. Introduction to Scientific Programming Students with a good background in programming can substitute Computer Science & Programming (4) if desired. Students who intend to take Adv Coll Chemistry II need to switch it with Scientific Programming. See below. Adv Coll Chemistry II or Intro to Elec/Mag (Phys) Because Adv Coll Chemistry II is no longer offered in the Fall, switch it with the Scientific Programming course, i.e., take Sci Prog in the Fall of Sophomore year and Adv Coll Chem II in the Spring of Freshman year. Students taking Intro to Elec/Mag (Phys) can stick to the curriculum as shown above, i.e., take Sci Prog in the Spring of Freshman year and Intro to Elec/Mag (Phys) in the Fall of Sophomore year. CEE majors take a technical elective in the senior year. A technical elective can be any 300 level or higher engineering course in any discipline (CEE, ChE, ME, ECE), not including courses taken to meet the CEE electives requirement. A technical elective can also be any 300 level or higher course taken from any of the following areas, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Economics, Geography, Anthropology, Geology, Mathematics. An example of a technical elective taken outside the college of engineering is Geographic Information Systems I (06.360). Your adviser must approve your technical elective and can help you find a good one. Each student selects 4 CEE Electives in their Senior year. They must choose CEE Elective courses so that they complete at least 2 courses in 4 of the five areas offered by CEE at Rowan (Structural, Environmental, Geotechnical, Transportation, and Water Resources). As part of your non-elective classes you take 2 structural courses (Structural Analysis and Design & Analysis and Design of Steel Frames), 2 environmental courses (Environmental Engineering I & II), 1 geotech courses (Geotechnical Engineering), 1 transportation course (Transportation Engineering) and 1 water resources course (Water Resources engineering), so you already have two courses in structures and environmental. There are three options for choosing your four CEE Electives:
Students are required to obtain a C- or better in Acc Calc I, Acc Calc II & MEA I (for students entering Fall 2010 or later). The table below shows additional courses that must be passed with a grade of C- or better (first column) in order to take subsequent courses (second column), for students entering Fall 2007 or later.
