Civil engineering is concerned with the building of civil and environmental facilities. Civil engineers design and construct bridges, buildings, wastewater treatment plants, water supply facilities, hazardous waste facilities, and transportation systems. The program at San Francisco State University provides a broad and practical education which prepares students for civil engineering employment and (for those who qualify) for graduate studies.

The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering curriculum provides a broad-based common core of engineering science and the essential civil engineering subjects. The students conclude with 15 units of upper-division electives where the primary emphasis is design, practical applications, and computer solutions in selected areas of civil engineering. Graduates of the civil engineering program are expected to have, within a few years of graduation:

• Established themselves as practicing professionals or engaged in graduate study in civil engineering or a related field. • Become licensed civil engineers or made appropriate progress toward professional registration.

Courses are scheduled during the day as well as late afternoon and evening. Other information and assistance in selecting courses can be obtained from a major advisor in the School of Engineering.
