Please review this page for important updates to SE courses, curriculum, and academic plans and policies. Information is also emailed to current SE undergraduate students and listed here for future reference.
Starting Summer 2024, five major degree codes are available within the B.S. program in the Structural Engineering Department:
The major code:
- SE27: Structural Engineering
And four specializations:
- SE28(CS): Structural Engineering with a Specialization in Civil Structures (CS)
- SE29(AS): Structural Engineering with a Specialization in Aerospace Structures (AS)
- SE30(GE): Structural Engineering with a Specialization in Geotechnical Engineering (GE)
- SE31(SHM/NDE): Structural Engineering with a Specialization in Structural Health Monitoring/Non-destructive Evaluation (SHM/NDE)
Students will be admitted to the existing Structural Engineering (SE27) major and then will have the option to decide to switch to one of the specialization majors listed above. Students should decide whether to remain in the SE27 major or switch to a major specialization no later than the end of their junior year. Students are welcome to switch into a major specialization before or after, but are encouraged to do so by this timeframe.
The initial enrollment in SE27 should provide students with time and information to help them decide whether they want to specialize and the freedom to decide in which area they would prefer to specialize. However, in order to prevent any impact on the time to degree, only a single selection of a specialization degree will be allowed. Students who do not wish to pursue a specialization are free to do so by remaining in the existing Structural Engineering major SE27.
