Engineering and Computer Science Degree Programs
Civil Engineering
Civil engineering develops students' understanding of the economical, physical, social, and political considerations affecting engineering decision-making processes. Our curriculum, steeped in a thorough understanding of mathematics, the physical and natural sciences, humanities, social sciences, and communications, challenges students to fully understand the multifaceted implications of their designs and endeavors.
All University of Evansville civil engineering students take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. While not a requirement for graduation, it is the important first step toward registration as a professional engineer. Our civil engineering graduates boast an 89 percent passing rate, far exceeding the national average.
The civil engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
Computer Engineering
Computer engineering bridges the areas of electrical engineering and computer science, providing an in-depth understanding of topics in electrical engineering that are related to the design and use of computers. Software design and implementation, especially applications in real time operation, are also integral components of this degree program. Our curriculum provides a broad-based understanding of hardware and software, as well as their interaction, and places a high value on creativity, invention, the continual learning of new concepts and ethical practices in the profession.
