Additional Information From NC State University:

The Civil Engineering curriculum provides academic discipline in mathematics, the physical sciences, and the technical aspects of civil engineering. Upon mastering the fundamental principles of engineering mechanics, the student builds additional breadth in several of the civil engineering disciplines such as coastal and water resources, computing and systems, construction, environmental, geotechnical, materials, structural, and transportation engineering.  Students learn to include principles of sustainability in civil infrastructure designs and develop skills in communication, leadership, and professional ethics.

See the program website for more details. 

Remaining Courses to be Taken at NC State are based on CAA eligibility and completion of all required and suggested courses in this transfer guide. Remaining courses, hours and time to degree may vary for each student.
