SEATTLE UNIVERSITY Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Student Handbook

1. INTRODUCTION The Civil and Environmental Engineering Student Handbook was written to assist current and prospective civil engineering students in planning their program of study leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) at Seattle University. The handbook is updated periodically to include the latest information on degree requirements and University procedures that are of particular interest to civil and environmental engineering students. The University-approved curricula meets the criteria set forth by the national Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). In these curricula we emphasize a four-year integrated hands-on learning and design experience while increasing speaking/writing opportunities, encouraging both independent and collaborative learning, and developing skills needed to function on multi-disciplinary teams. The total number of quarter credit hours is 192. Official academic policies are established by the Dean's Council and the Academic Council of the University. They are enacted primarily through the Registrar's Office. The policies are published in the annual Seattle University Undergraduate Bulletin of Information (www.seattleu.edu/home/learning_teaching/bulletins_of_information/undergraduate/), as well as the Seattle University Policy Book (www.seattleu.edu/regis/Policies/Alpha_Index.htm). This Civil and Environmental Engineering Student Handbook is a compact guide to those more detailed and definitive statements of procedure. Whenever a question arises on any point, those documents should be considered to be the ultimate authoritative sources concerning University policy. A copy of the Seattle University Policy Book is available in every academic department office on campus. You are welcome to stop by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) office, Rm. 518 in the Engineering Building, to refer to any of the policy memoranda or you may review these policies on-line at the above web site. You may also find valuable information about the civil engineering program through the department's web page www.seattleu.edu/scieng/cee/.

2. THE MISSION OF SEATTLE UNIVERSITY The vision of Seattle University is to be the premier independent university of the Northwest in academic quality, Jesuit Catholic inspiration, and service to society. The following positioning statement expresses the Seattle University mission: Seattle University is dedicated to educating the whole person, to professional formation, and to empowering leaders for a just and humane world. To achieve this mission and vision, the following institution-wide student learning outcomes, which reflect what we desire our undergraduate students to achieve, were adopted: 1. Understand the varying perspectives of the liberal arts and sciences and apply them to personal, civic, or professional issues. 2. Demonstrate proficiency in the content and methodology of their discipline or profession. 3. Pursue and evaluate knowledge through the skills of inquiry, research, critical thinking, and problem-solving. 4. Communicate effectively in both speech and writing. 5. Demonstrate team and leadership skills needed to convert goals into action. 6. Understand and appreciate diversity and develop a worldview informed by multicultural and global perspectives. 7. Think systematically about moral, ethical, and spiritual questions and assess and articulate their own values. 8. Understand and appreciate the Jesuit/Catholic linking of faith and justice and assess their own levels of commitment to a just world. Seattle University's learning outcomes for its undergraduate program are posted on its website, www.seattleu.edu/assessment/undergrad_outcomes.htm. Seattle University strives to help its students develop their talents as well-rounded human beings, prepared to meet life's challenges both to their own benefit and that of society as a whole. This goal is accomplished within the Jesuit tradition of liberal education. This tradition at Seattle University is embodied in the Core Curriculum, a course of study shared by all Seattle University students regardless of major. It includes philosophy, religious studies, social sciences, and humanities. The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering believes that this Core, along with a strong engineering education, provides an excellent basis for a rewarding professional life.

3. THE CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING PROFESSION The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department is dedicated to educating professional engineers to master the materials, technologies, and physical forces that change the face of the earth - with soaring structures, transportation networks, facilities for community living, and the means to protect the physical environment. This profession requires the highest standards of excellence in education, performance of services, and ethical conduct. Our educational approach implies that specialization in engineering subjects is integrative with courses that speak to the arts and culture of civilization and to the study of natural systems. To accomplish these ends, analysis and design courses in the fields of environmental, geotechnical, structural, and water resources engineering are offered in addition to preparatory courses in sciences and basic mechanics. A broad base of theory is provided, along with application through case studies as appropriate, to current practices of the profession. Students may choose from two different specialties - civil engineering or civil engineering with a specialization in environmental engineering. Both lay a strong foundation in traditional structural and mechanical concepts. The civil engineering option is the classic Bachelor of Science degree leading to professional applications in structural, geotechnical, and water resources engineering. The environmental option adds unique coursework in hazardous waste management, air pollution engineering, and water and solid waste engineering. In-depth professional training is enhanced by a broad offering of laboratory courses and design experience through Seattle Universitys Project Center. Teamwork and communication skills, ethical values, and critical inquiry are developed both in this project work and in studies in the humanities. 4. OBJECTIVES OF THE CIVIL ENGINEERING PROGRAM The civil engineering program at Seattle University, in keeping with the universitys mission, seeks to prepare graduates for productive and fulfilling life-long careers in the engineering profession. The mission of the civil engineering program is as follows: To provide educational opportunities for students seeking to enter the civil engineering profession, so that they can achieve competence in the field while recognizing their social responsibilities. The program provides a strong foundation in the areas of mathematics, basic and engineering sciences, and the humanities and social sciences. It encourages further self development and life-long intellectual achievement. The program seeks to build student skills in written and oral communication, and a sense of poise and professionalism. 3

Consistent with definitions used by ABET, objectives are statements that describe the expected accomplishments of our graduates during the first few years after graduation. The specific program objectives for the Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering are: 1. Technical Proficiency: Ability to apply a technical core of knowledge in mathematics, science, and civil engineering, which includes understanding the fundamentals of several recognized civil engineering areas (e.g., environmental, geotechnical, structural, and water resources engineering). 2. Communications Skills: Ability to communicate effectively including writing, speaking, listening, and observing and to use graphics, the worldwide web, and other communication tools. 3. Professional Skills: Ability to use the broad spectrum of skills needed in professional practice including teamwork, leadership, and project and business management, and an understanding of professional ethics, contemporary issues, safety, and economics. 4. Personal Breadth: Understanding of non-technical aspects of engineering, including ethical considerations, concern for society and the environment, and multi-cultural perspectives, as well as a commitment to life-long learning and service to the professional and civic communities. Program outcomes are comprehensive statements of the skills, knowledge, and behaviors that students in our program attain by the time of graduation. The department has adopted the following ABET Engineering Criterion 3(a-k) outcomes as the civil engineering program outcomes: (a) An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (b) An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data (c) An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability (d) An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams (e) An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems (f) An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility (g) An ability to communicate effectively (h) The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context (i) A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning (j) A knowledge of contemporary issues (k) An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. 4

5. ENGINEERING EDUCATION AT SEATTLE UNIVERSITY Seattle University (then called Seattle College) was founded by members of the Society of Jesus in 1891. It was not until 1941, however, that the School of Engineering was organized under the leadership of Fr. Edmund McNulty, S.J. The first baccalaureate degrees in engineering were awarded in 1948. In 1990 an environmental engineering track was added within the civil engineering curriculum. The BSCE degree program at Seattle University first achieved national accreditation from the predecessor organization to the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in 1962 and was most recently accredited in 2000 as a civil engineering program that includes traditional civil engineering and a specialty in environmental engineering. In 1972 the College of Science and Engineering underwent reorganization, joining with the natural sciences to become the School of Science and Engineering, becoming the College of Science and Engineering in 2004. The College is administered by its Dean along with an Associate Dean and an Assistant Dean. In addition to the three undergraduate engineering departments of civil and environmental, electrical and computer, and mechanical engineering, the College houses programs in the natural and health sciences, mathematics, and computer science. There is also a graduate program in software engineering. The College of Science and Engineering also contains within it the Science and Engineering Project Center (www.seattleu.edu/scieng/engpc). Through the Project Center, all senior students in engineering and computer science are formed into teams, which are given real-world design problems to work on during their last year in school. In most cases, the projects are provided and sponsored by companies from local industry. Each company also provides a working engineer to act as a technical adviser to the student team. A faculty member acts to facilitate the process and to evaluate the students' efforts. We feel that this experience gives our students a strong bridge between the academic and working worlds and that it goes a long way toward fulfilling the mission of the university.

6. ADMISSIONS All students at Seattle University must have a major field of study into which they have been admitted. In the College of Science and Engineering students apply for entry into a particular department and are admitted according to their qualifications and the availability of openings. This section describes the various routes for admission into the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. More information on the admissions process and the application are available from the Admissions Office (www.seattleu.edu/home/prospective_students/). Students may apply to be admitted to the department at any time during the year. Usually the application will be acted upon immediately. Sometimes, though, consideration of an application will be delayed until after a student has completed additional preparation courses. Because of the department's size, individual required courses are usually offered only once or twice a year, and some elective courses may be offered only every other year. The department's staffing, equipment, and laboratory resources limit the number of students that can be graduated to approximately 40 per year. Transfer students wishing to enter the program should apply at least three months prior to the desired quarter so that adequate planning time is available in order to ensure a smooth transition. Prospective students should consult the Admissions Policy section of the current Seattle University Undergraduate Bulletin of Information for general admissions rules for the University. Specific minimum admissions criteria for civil and environmental engineering are contained in Seattle University Policy #81-4, which can be found in Appendix II. Application materials can be obtained from the above web site or by contacting the Admissions Office. 6.1 New Freshmen If you have no previous college experience you should submit your application directly to the University's Admissions Office. Be sure to specify civil engineering or civil-environmental engineering as the intended field of study. Admission to the department will be on the same basis as for general admission to the university. To have a reasonable chance of success in the program, however, you should have taken certain specific classes in high school. In addition to a general college preparatory selection of courses, you should have had at least three years of mathematics including algebra, geometry, and trigonometry and two years of laboratory science such as biology, chemistry, or physics. Prospective freshmen who have not taken these courses or who have received less than B grades in them will not be automatically excluded from the department. Similarly, if you have taken the SAT, your scores should be greater than 600 in mathematics and 550 in verbal. Again, these 6

are not absolute requirements, but they are strong indicators of future success in the department. All decisions on the admission of freshmen are made by the Dean of Admissions. 6.2 Off-Campus Transfers If you have had previous post-secondary educational experience and are not currently enrolled at Seattle University, you may directly enter the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering by submitting an application to the Admissions Office. Be sure to specify either civil engineering or civil-environmental engineering as the intended field of study. Minimum qualifications for admission to the department are an overall grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 or better on a scale of 4.0 and a composite average of 2.5 in all of your technical courses. These include all mathematics, science, and engineering courses that you have taken. In both cases, the GPA calculation is based on all courses that are transferable to Seattle University regardless of whether or not they apply to the BSCE degree. Note, however, that grades earned in engineering technology programs are not included in GPA calculations because engineering technology courses are not transferable to Seattle University. The decision to admit off-campus transfers directly into any program within the College of Science and Engineering is made by the Associate Dean. If you are denied direct admission to the department, you may still wish to enroll in the College of Science and Engineering as a general science major or in the College of Arts and Sciences as a pre-major. If either of these possibilities is of interest to you, then you should make that clear at the time of application. After improving your record, you can seek a transfer to civil engineering according to the criteria given in Section 6.3. 6.3 On-Campus Transfers Seattle University students majoring in programs other than civil and environmental engineering may apply for a change of major into the department at any time. The requirements for such a transfer vary somewhat depending upon whether or not you are already an engineering student. 6.3.1 Non-Engineering Students Students with non-engineering majors must have completed a minimum of 25 credit hours at Seattle University. Of these, 15 credit hours must have been earned in the College of Science and Engineering. Both your overall and your science/engineering GPA at Seattle University must be at least 2.5.

6.3.2 Engineering Students Students in good standing as electrical, mechanical and manufacturing, computer science, or undecided engineering majors may transfer to civil and environmental engineering after having completed at least one quarter at Seattle University. If you wish to change your major to civil and environmental engineering you should make an appointment with the Chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering through the departmental administrative assistant (Engineering 518) to discuss your individual situation. Do so well in advance of registration for the quarter in which you want to transfer. Be sure to bring your advising folder to the appointment so that all relevant information will be available. The decision to admit you will be made by the Chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, but a signature will also be needed from the chairperson of your previous department to release your advising file. 6.4 Second Degree Students Students who have completed baccalaureate degrees in fields other than civil and environmental engineering occasionally apply for admission to the department. The admissions procedures and requirements are the same as for other prospective students. Such students should contact the University Admissions Office. University Core requirements are significantly altered for second degree students, but all other degree requirements must be met. Students staying on at Seattle University for a second degree should consult the Registrars Office for rules specific to this situation. 6.5 Returning Students and Leaves of Absence Anyone who has previously been a student in the department and who wishes to be readmitted will be considered on his or her merits as they compare with the other current applicants. Students who for personal rather than academic reasons must leave the university for a period of time should apply for an official leave of absence in order to reserve a spot upon returning. The Associate Dean of Science and Engineering should be consulted prior to taking a leave of absence in order to ensure a smooth re-entry when you return to school. If you fail to register for four consecutive quarters, the university will assume that you have left school. Your priority for enrolling in civil and environmental engineering classes will be lost and you will have to request readmission to the university. Students who withdraw from the university for one calendar year or more are subject to the degree requirements in effect at the time of their readmission. Readmission decisions are made by the Associate Dean of the College of Science and Engineering.

6.6 Non-Matriculated Students Occasionally a working professional or a student not in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering will want to take some CEEGR courses without the intention of obtaining a degree. The department is willing to accommodate these individuals on a spaceavailable basis. The student must, of course, have the proper background for the desired courses. Such arrangements are at the discretion of the Chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. In addition to talking to the chair, those not already enrolled at Seattle University must contact the Admissions Office. If a non-matriculated student decides to apply for admission to the BSCE program, a maximum of 30 credits taken at Seattle University in non-matriculated status may be applied toward the degree. 7. FINANCIAL AID Financial aid is an important consideration for many of our students. Consult the current Undergraduate Bulletin of Information for general information on financial aid at Seattle University or the web site: www.seattleu.edu/services/financialservices/. You may also wish to contact the Financial Aid Office directly for specific information regarding application procedures. Many of our students have financial aid packages including scholarships, loans, and work-study opportunities. Since 1996, the College of Science and Engineering has been proud to be able to recognize a number of talented upper division students (juniors and seniors) with scholarship awards of up to $3,000 per year. These awards are made possible with endowed funds from the estate of Arline and Thomas Bannan, long time friends and supporters of Jesuit education, Seattle University, and the School of Science and Engineering. Bannan Scholars are chosen from among both continuing Seattle University students and students transferring from other institutions. Information concerning qualifications and application procedures can be obtained from the web site: www.seattleu.edu/scieng/bannan/ or through the Financial Aid Office or the Office of the Dean of Science and Engineering. Information on other scholarships from professional organizations that relate to Civil and Environmental Engineering, such as the American Society of Civil Engineers, American Water Works Association, American Public Works Association, and Society of Women Engineers, are posted on the CEE bulletin board.

8. ADVISING AND REGISTRATION Seattle University uses an on-line registration system. Students register via the website, www.suonline.edu. The quarterly Schedule of Classes is also on this website. In the "Search for Classes" you will be able to search for courses by school, department, academic level, start and end time, days, key words in the comments section, key words in the title of the course, and by credits. New freshmen are registered through New Student Registration (NSR). For fall quarter admits, a packet of information is mailed in mid-May to freshmen who have paid their registration deposit. This packet includes information on orientation events and a form that can be completed on the web at www.seattleu.edu/newregistration/freshman/. Once NSR receives the completed form, they will make a schedule and register the student. The civil engineering department chair provides NSR with a list of courses for incoming freshmen. All new off-campus transfer students meet initially with the Chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering to review their transfer credits and select a program of study. As soon as you are admitted as a transfer student, you may call the department office (206-2965520) to set up an advising appointment with the department chair. The department chair will be your advisor until after registration for your first quarter at Seattle University. You will then be assigned to another faculty advisor for the remainder of your time in the department. New international students will not receive their schedules until they check in with the International Student Center located in the Student Center Pavilion. Continuing students normally register for classes during Advance Registration. This is a period of time (usually about the fifth week of every quarter) during which you may register for the following quarter. The week before advance registration is Advising Week. It is our department policy that all students must make an appointment to see their advisers during Advising Week. Faculty will post sign-up sheets on their office doors for appointments. A list of students and their advisers is posted on the bulletin board outside the department office (Engineering 518). To make the most effective use of your advising appointment, please prepare an SU ON-LINE registration work sheet (Appendix II), filled out as completely as possible, prior to the appointment. Your adviser will discuss your progress with you, assist if necessary, in your selection of classes, and sign your registration form. A copy of this form is kept in your student file. It is the only record of which classes you and your adviser agreed you should be taking. You will not be able to register until you have consulted your adviser. After you and your adviser have agreed on which courses you should take during the next quarter, the department administrative assistant will release your advising hold and you may register. At the start of each quarter, advising holds are placed on all student files. Only your department's 10

administrative assistant or advisor may remove them. It is the student's responsibility to meet with his or her adviser each quarter during Advising Week. It is to your advantage to sign up for classes during the advance registration period rather than to wait until the quarter begins. Your chances of getting into the classes you desire will be much greater. Even if you are not able to register during the advance registration period, use the scheduled Advising Week to make an appointment to see your adviser. You may register or change your schedule during the times listed in the Schedule of Classes. If you change your schedule, please inform your adviser so that a note of the changes may be made in your file. There is an official add/drop period for about one week at the beginning of every quarter. Beyond this period, you may not add classes, but you may withdraw from classes according to the rules of the University. However, your tuition for classes dropped beyond the official add/drop period will not be refunded in whole. Withdrawal from a class requires both your adviser's and the instructor's signatures. 9. FACULTY ADVISER Upon being admitted to the department, you will be assigned to one of the department's faculty members who will act as your adviser. Your adviser will assist you prior to registration each quarter, and can discuss academic and career paths with you. He or she will also be happy to talk to you about any problems you might have that affect your work at the university. A list of all civil and environmental engineering students and their advisers is maintained by the departmental administrative assistant and posted on the bulletin board just outside the department office (Engineering 518). If, for any reason, you are not happy with the adviser to whom you have been assigned or wish to have another particular adviser, simply tell the departmental administrative assistant and a change will be made. The SU Student Academic Services Office, which includes the Learning Center, can assist students enhance their academic performance by providing workshops and individual counseling on topics such as study skills, note-taking and exam performance. The Student Academic Services Office also provides information and assistance regarding academic policies and procedures, scheduling of classes, or choosing a major. They can also help you connect to other campus resources. The Counseling Center is located in the Student Center Pavilion (P-120). There you can find, among other services, counselors who are trained to help you with personal problems should the need arise.

10. JUNIOR CANDIDACY The three engineering departments at Seattle University have a policy allowing students to register for upper-division courses (300- and 400-level) only after they have completed their freshman- and sophomore-level prerequisites. This process is called Junior Candidacy. The progression rules for engineering students must also be satisfied. The most important of these rules is that both your overall GPA and your science and engineering GPA must be 2.5 or better. Only grades for courses taken at Seattle University are used in computing these GPAs. Before you may enroll in any upper-division civil engineering courses, you must have completed all of your science, mathematics, and engineering requirements from the freshman and sophomore years as well as ENGL 110 (or its equivalent) with a composite grade point average in those courses of 2.5 or better. When you register for your first 300-level classes in the civil engineering program, your adviser will help you fill out a Junior Candidacy form, a copy of which can be found in Appendix II. On it, your grades in the required pre-candidacy courses will be listed. This form is submitted to the Chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, who then checks it and enrolls eligible students in their first 300-level courses. Because some of the upper level courses are offered only once or twice a year, the department tries to be flexible in evaluating a student's request for candidacy status. If you are only one or possibly two courses short of meeting the candidacy requirements and if you can present a workable plan for completing these courses in a reasonable amount of time, then you may be allowed into the upper division civil engineering courses. 11. SENIOR COMPREHENSIVE EXAM The civil engineering program requires each student entering the senior year to take the department's comprehensive exam. The primary intent of the exam is to ensure that each student takes the time to review the major engineering topics important to the practice of civil engineering. The exam also provides information on student attainment of the course learning outcomes and helps students prepare for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. Part I of the exam consists of 60 questions on the following topics: mathematics, statics, computers, dynamics, mechanics of materials, ethics, fluid mechanics, and chemistry. Part II of the exam consists of the following topics: hydraulics and hydrologic systems, soil mechanics, environmental engineering, water purification and treatment, structural analysis, computers and numerical methods, legal and professional aspects, and surveying. The exam is obtained from Exam Caf Professional Practices, Inc., an independent publisher of professional licensing exam review materials since 1975, and has a format similar to the nationally administered Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. The students' performance on Parts I and II of the 12

exam accounts for part of their grade in the senior design courses CEEGR 487 and CEEGR 488 in the fall and winter quarters, respectively, of the senior year. 12. REQUIREMENTS TO ENTER THE SENIOR DESIGN SEQUENCE Ideally, before students are allowed to enter the senior design sequence (CEEGR 487-488-489) they must satisfy the following requirements: 1. Have successfully completed the 300-level courses in their junior year. 2. Have completed all prerequisites required to take the following classes: CEEGR 445 (Structural Mechanics), or CEEGR 473 (Principles of Environmental Engineering). Because many of our classes are taught only once a year, sometimes meeting these requirements might mean that a student will have to spend an extra year at Seattle University. The department realizes this and will allow a student to be deficient in at most three of the above courses. If a student is missing more than three required courses, admission is at the chair's discretion. It is important for students to realize that even if they have not completed all their junior course work, they have a responsibility toward their fellow senior project team members to have a basic knowledge of the material covered in junior courses they may not yet have completed. 13. TRANSFER CREDITS If you have attended schools other than Seattle University, you will naturally want previous pertinent work to apply toward your SU degree. Being properly credited for such work is usually straightforward. It is your responsibility to have complete, official, transcripts sent to the Admissions Office (if you are a new transfer student) or the Evaluations Unit of the Registrar's Office (if you are already enrolled). If you are enrolled in another school at the time you apply for admission to Seattle University, be sure to have updated, complete transcripts sent when you complete your last terms work. Specialists will evaluate the transcript(s) and indicate which course requirements for your Seattle University degree have been satisfied. Failure to submit all previous transcripts at the time of application for admission (if you are a new transfer student) or in the allowed period of time (if you are already enrolled) may mean that courses will not be transferred. This process seems simple, but probably no other interaction with the university causes as much distress and misunderstanding among our students as does the issue of transfer credits. Upon admission and whenever you submit transcripts from other schools, you will receive an academic evaluation for the degree audit that indicates transfer credit granted. A copy of this form is included in Appendix I. When you receive a degree audit, study it carefully to make 13

certain that all transfer credit has been correctly applied. If you think there are discrepancies, discuss them with the transfer evaluator in the Registrar's Office to whom you have been assigned and with your adviser. When you are admitted to Seattle University, you should begin working with the department chair and your adviser to make sure that you understand exactly how much of your previous work has been credited and what degree requirements remain to be completed. It is best to be cautious on this point. Do not assume that you will receive transfer credit until it has officially been granted. New transfer students are sometimes surprised to learn that not all of their course work from other schools can be applied to their degree at Seattle University in the way they expect. Particular courses that sometimes cause difficulties in terms of transfer are in the areas of mathematics, physics, and mechanical engineering. Guides that list the Washington State community college courses and the equivalent courses at Seattle University can be found at www.seattleu.edu/regis/. Mathematics: The BSCE curriculum requires three quarters (15 credits) of basic calculus, 3 credits of multivariable (advanced) calculus, 3 credits of linear algebra, 4 credits of differential equations, and 5 credits of probability and statistics. Physics: Each of the required engineering-oriented physics courses (PHYS 121, 122, 123) contains a laboratory component. Students transferring physics without laboratories will be required to take separate one-credit laboratories - PHYS 296, 297, 298. These are taken pass/fail (credit/no credit). Mechanical Engineering: Civil and Environmental Engineering students are required to take three mechanical engineering courses: MEGR 210, 230, and 281. MEGR 210 and 230 introduce the principles of statics and dynamics, respectively. Application to engineering design is an integral component of these courses. MEGR 281 teaches the application of computers to solve problems encountered in engineering. Specific rules governing the transfer of credit to Seattle University from other institutions include the following: a) Credit can be transferred only for courses whose content is substantially equivalent to those within the curriculum of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Seattle University. You must have earned at least a grade of C or better (2.0 on a scale of 4.0) for each course to be transferred. b) If a course is transferred and it is of fewer credits than the equivalent course at Seattle University, the shortfall in credits must be made up with courses in the same general area so that you graduate with the proper number of total credits (presently 192). Note: To be considered 14

equivalent, the transfer course must be within one credit of the corresponding course at Seattle University. c) A maximum of 90 quarter credit hours can be transferred from community colleges. A maximum of 147 credit hours can be transferred when work from four-year colleges or universities is included. (Two semester hours are equivalent to three quarter hours.) d) Recognition of content: Once you have attained upper division standing (90 or more total Seattle University and transfer credit hours) you may not transfer additional credit hours from any two-year schools. In some instances, however, a course taken beyond the 90-credit limit may be recognized for its content in such a way that you will not be required to take the equivalent course at Seattle University. In such cases you will be required to make up the credits so that you graduate with the correct total (192). e) The evaluation specialists in the Registrar's Office look at transcripts for transfer students chronologically. That is, courses taken at other schools are considered in the order in which they were taken. Once these total 90 credit hours, no further course work from two-year institutions can be transferred for credit. This is regardless of whether or not all of the first 90 could be counted toward your BSCE degree. For example, assume that you have 97 collegetransferable credits from XYZ Community College. Of the first 90 credits taken, 53 were transferred and 37 did not relate to your chosen degree program in civil and environmental engineering. Despite the fact that only 53 credits helped you toward your degree requirements, none of the last 7 credit hours (those beyond the 90-credit limit) will be transferred for credit regardless of what they were. They may, however, be recognized for content as described in Item d). If, however, the last 7 credits were from ABC University they will be transferred if they are applicable toward your degree. f) No course work from engineering technology programs can be transferred. No work-related experience can be counted toward your degree requirements. (See Section 15 for rules governing credit by examination.) g) You may not simultaneously take courses at Seattle University and another school and expect them to count toward your SU degree without prior permission. Except during summer quarter, permission is normally granted only to relieve scheduling conflicts that would impede your progress in your degree program and delay your graduation. To request simultaneous enrollment, complete a Transfer Verification Form, available at the Registrars Office and included in Appendix II, well in advance of the quarter for which the simultaneous enrollment is planned. Your adviser must sign the form. Final approval is determined by the Associate Dean of the College of Science and Engineering. h) The final 45 credits counted toward your degree must be taken at Seattle University. i) Students transferring with 90 or more credits and who have no religious studies courses transferred for the theology and religious studies (TRST) requirement may have one religious 15

studies course waived. The one TRST course that will be required of such students must be in Phase II (200-level). The waived TRST course must be replaced with humanities/social sciences, not technical courses such as mathematics or engineering. Regardless of background, all transfer students are required to have at least one religious studies course. j) Students transferring with 90 or more credits and who have no philosophy courses will have PHIL 110 waived as a requirement, but it must be replaced by a humanities or social science course. Also, in place of PHIL 220, such students should take the PHIL 210 bridge course listed for junior and senior transfer students in the quarterly Schedule of Classes. Details are given in Seattle University Policy #76-14 (revised 9/92). k) Students who have earned a transferable associate degree from a Washington State community college prior to first admission to Seattle University will have ENGL 120, HIST 120, and Social Science I waived in addition to the religious studies and philosophy courses described above. A more complete description of possible waivers from the University Core can be found in Appendix I. Not all associates degrees are transferable. A list of all recognized transferable associates degrees from community colleges in Washington State is in Appendix I. Consult the Registrars Office if you have questions. As in items i) and j), the credits for the waived classes will have to be earned through course work in similar areas. This is frequently accomplished by using transferable humanities and social science credits from your community college record. l) Students who have previously attained a baccalaureate degree at another American university will have the University Core waived except for the Phase II religious studies course and the philosophy course in ethics. Students whose first baccalaureate degree was from a foreign institution must satisfy the entire University Core either through transfer credits or courses taken at Seattle University. m) Waived courses are indicated on your degree audit. This is a waiving of the content of the course. As described above, the credits for a waived or not required course must be made up in some way by a course of similar type. All students must have received at least 45 college level credits in history, social science, and humanities, and fine arts to fulfill the Core requirement. If a specific course in the Core is waived, the 45 credits must be reached by additional courses in one of the Core areas or foreign language. It is also possible to simply take the waived course itself to fulfill the credit requirement. n) Students with Advance Placement scores of 3 or higher from high school mathematics, English, chemistry, etc. will receive credit for courses according to Seattle University Policy #75-16. o) Once admitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, students may not normally transfer civil engineering courses from other institutions. Occasionally, students will transfer from other schools after having already taken a number of civil engineering courses. These will be evaluated by the department on a case-by-case basis. 16

p) Deadlines are established for submitting transcripts for courses taken at other institutions. These deadlines are the same for work in progress at other institutions at the time you are admitted, work done during a period away from SU (usually during the summer), or work completed while simultaneously enrolled at SU and another institution. These deadlines are: Courses completed Summer Term Courses completed Fall Term Courses completed Winter Term Courses completed Spring Term December 1 March 1 May 1 August 1

New students frequently neglect to send a final transcript from the last school attended. If you believe that your program evaluation is incomplete, go to the Admissions Office to be sure that all transcripts have been received and evaluated. Work reflected on transcripts received after the above deadlines will not be transferred without a Petition for Exception to Policy initiated by your adviser. Seattle University has established these and other rules regarding transfer credits primarily to safeguard the integrity of its degree programs. All colleges, both public and private, have similar sets of rules. Each institution has its own philosophy of education and Seattle University is no exception. The only way that we can be sure that our students are exposed to the Jesuit traditions of liberal education and service to society is to make sure that the courses that they take reflect this viewpoint. The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is accredited by a national organization (ABET) that sets the standards for engineering education in the United States. More precisely, it is the program, or curriculum, of the department that is accredited. Our ABET accreditation would be seriously jeopardized if our students were allowed to freely substitute courses from other schools in place of our own offerings. 14. MATHEMATICS PLACEMENT It is important that new freshmen and transfer students with no previous college-level mathematics be placed in mathematics courses appropriate to their mathematics background and level of accomplishment. Seattle University's Mathematics Department makes this determination based on the student's SAT mathematics or ACT score. If you feel that you should be placed at a higher level than that determined by your SAT or ACT scores, you may choose to take a diagnostic test offered by the Mathematics Department. An SAT score of over 640 or a score of 25-30 with a trigonometry score of 6 or better on the department's test is needed for placement in MATH 134 - Calculus I. Your placement will be based on the better of your two scores. Most engineering students will be placed in MATH 134. Some will be placed in MATH 120 - Pre-calculus: Algebra, MATH 121 - Pre-calculus: Trigonometry or earlier mathematics classes. These courses are not part of the BSCE curriculum, but they provide the 17

background that the Mathematics Department feels the student needs for success in later courses. The BSCE curriculum assumes that students have had sufficient mathematical preparation for immediate entry into freshman calculus. If this is not the case, and additional courses must be taken, the time required to get your degree could be extended, perhaps considerably. Placement in mathematics can also be affected by having taken the AP examination following high school. Freshmen who have taken calculus in high school but who have not taken the AP examination may take a special examination from the Mathematics Department to see if they can skip MATH 134 and start with MATH 135. If this is done and MATH 135 is successfully completed with a grade C or better, the student will be granted credit for MATH 134. In other words, the skipped course will not have to be made up in any way. Students interested in this possibility should discuss it with the Chair of the Mathematics Department. 15. CREDIT BY EXAMINATION If you feel that you have mastered a subject through personal study or work experience you may receive credit and a grade for the course(s) by examination. The rules for credit by examination are outlined in the Seattle University Undergraduate Bulletin of Information. The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering normally administers such examinations by having you take the final examination for the class when normally offered. 16. GRADING OPTIONS All courses to be counted toward the BSCE degree must be taken for letter grades. The one exception to this rule is for transfer students who are required to take PHYS 296, 297, or 298 to make up for a lack of physics laboratories. These three courses are offered only under the pass/fail option. Electives not to be counted toward your BSCE degree may, of course, be taken under one of the alternative grading modes such as pass/fail described in the Undergraduate Bulletin of Information. Core electives do count toward your degree and must be taken for a letter grade. Officially withdrawing from a course is an action initiated by the student. This will result in a grade of W, which will not affect your GPA. If the course is required for graduation you will, of course, have to enroll in it again and complete it. Students who, for reasons beyond their control, are unable to complete their coursework during the quarter may receive a grade of Incomplete (I). Incompletes are intended for students experiencing illness or a family emergency. You must have a passing grade at the time you are given the Incomplete. You must complete the work during the following quarter in order to 18

have the Incomplete changed to a letter grade. Otherwise, the grade will convert to an F. Please talk to your individual course instructor if you feel that you are in this situation. 17. REPEATING OPTIONS The university's policy on repeating courses is explained in the Undergraduate Bulletin of Information. Under the limitations described in that policy, you may repeat a course in which you received a grade of C- or lower. Both grades will appear on your SU transcript, but only the grade from the repeated course will be used in computing your GPA. When you are repeating a course you must fill out a Notification of Repeated Course Form and file it with the Registrar. Otherwise, your academic record will not be adjusted to reflect the repeat of the course. It is not necessary to repeat courses in which you received lower than a C. It is an option that may help to satisfy the requirement of maintaining a GPA of at least 2.5. Failed courses (grade F) must be repeated if they are to count toward your graduation requirements. Once a course has been taken and a grade received at Seattle University, it may not be repeated at another institution for purposes of transferring the credit. A course may be repeated at Seattle University only three times including withdrawals. If you register for a course and then drop it before the end of the normal add/drop period, this will not count toward the total. 18. SATISFACTORY PROGRESS AND ACADEMIC PROBATION Once admitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, a full-time student is guaranteed entry to department courses in the normal sequence to complete the degree program. The student must, however, maintain satisfactory progress as described in Seattle University Policy #81-4 (revised 12/94) in Appendix II. Primarily this requires that you maintain both your overall and science/mathematics/engineering GPAs at 2.5 or better. Students who fail to maintain satisfactory progress may lose priority for entrance into civil and environmental engineering courses. Scholastic difficulties can lead to probation and ultimately dismissal from the department, college, and university. Students in danger of probation or dismissal will receive ample notification from the Associate Dean of Science and Engineering so that they might have the opportunity to correct the problem. Please refer to Policy #81-4 in Appendix II for details. 19. LEARNING CENTER The Learning Center at Seattle University provides additional support to students who wish to strengthen their learning skills. The Learning Center offers the following services: tutoring, study skill development, personalized academic assistance, learning assessments, and handouts and reference material support. By using these services, students can improve their skills in note 19

taking, time management, study strategies, and test-taking. The Learning Center is available to all Seattle University students and is located in Room 100, Loyola Hall. 20. CLOSED CLASSES During registration, if a class that you wish to take is closed, you may check with the chairperson of the department in which the class is offered. It is possible, although not at all guaranteed, that you may be permitted to enroll in the class. You will need a Request to Enter a Closed Class form signed by the department chair involved. You must then register for the class in person at the Registrar's Office. In the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, it is our policy to set section sizes at their projected enrollments. This sometimes means that classes are closed when several students still need to enroll. If you have the necessary prerequisites, you will be permitted to take required classes, but we cannot guarantee enrollment in a specific laboratory section, if another section is not yet closed. You may obtain a Request to Enter a Closed Class form from either the Registrar or the departmental administrative assistant. 21. STUDENT PERCEPTION OF TEACHING The department and the university strive to provide students with an educational experience of high quality. Several components go into making up this experience; the most obvious to you will be the courses that you take. As an aid in improving the quality of the teaching in its courses, the department asks students to fill out Student Perception of Teaching Forms, Appendix II, for some of the courses that they take. These will generally be done sometime during the last week of every quarter. The purpose of seeking this information is two-fold. First, it acts as feedback to your instructors so that they might identify and respond to areas that students feel are in need of attention. Secondly, the university uses the information as one of several measures of the work performance of its faculty. Teaching is only one of several dimensions to a faculty member's job, but at Seattle University it is by far the most important. Student feedback is the primary method that the university has for evaluating the effectiveness of its faculty with regard to teaching, and it places great importance on them. The university is quite serious about the evaluation process and we ask you to be equally sincere. Feel free to state any negative impressions that you have. It is through these that improvements can be made. Feel free also to express positive observations. Instructors, like students, are always pleased to know when their efforts are well received. We do ask you to avoid personal or humorous remarks because these can be easily misinterpreted when read by anyone other than the instructor. 20

22. ENGINEERING STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS Students in the civil engineering program are strongly encouraged to participate in professional activities while at Seattle University. We have an active student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Coordinated through the ASCE Seattle Section University Advisory Committee (UAC), students participate in a mentoring program, job site and project site visits, professional meetings, and workshops on resume-writing and interviewing techniques. Other professional organizations in which our students participate include the Society of Women Engineers, the Society of Environmental Engineers and Scientists (a student chapter of the Water Environment Federation), the National Society of Black Engineers and Scientists, and Tau Beta Pi. Tau Beta Pi, the national engineering honor society, was established to recognize engineering students with outstanding academic records. Membership is by invitation. If you are eligible, you will be contacted by student officers of the society. The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is open to all engineering and science students. A new student chapter of Engineers Without Borders was initiated in fall 2004 and 35 engineering students participated in the first project that was conducted in Thailand during spring break 2005. The mission of Engineers Without Borders is to partner with disadvantaged communities to improve their quality of life through implementation of environmentally and economically sustainable engineering projects, while developing internationally responsible engineering students. The Seattle University chapter completed the design of a 64-bed student dormitory, which was constructed in Mae Nam Khun, Thailand over spring break 2005. All student members contributed to the fundraising efforts and four of these students assisted in the construction during spring break 2005. The dormitory will allow students from the region to board and attend school. Students in electrical engineering were responsible for the electrical design, which included researching the power distribution practices used in Thailand. Students in civil and mechanical engineering assisted in the gravity and lateral load calculations for the structure, foundation design, and timber design. The completed design included input from the Mae Nam Khun villagers so that their functional, cultural and social needs were addressed. Students in mechanical and electrical engineering have organizations similar to ASCE. There are also student clubs in the science departments. Depending on your interests, you might wish to associate with those groups also. The student engineering clubs share a room on the first floor of the Bannan Science and Engineering Building (Bannan 112). Notices of club activities and information about graduate programs are posted on a bulletin board in the club room. Your education extends beyond the walls of the classroom and the topics of textbooks. Participation in student organizations provides you with opportunities to develop your social and leadership skills. We encourage you to be active participants.

21

23. SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING COLLEGIUM Seattle Universitys Student Development Division sponsors several collegia around campus. A collegium is a place where students from a college or school can gather for informal conversation and relaxation. The atmosphere is designed to be welcoming, with comfortable furniture and coffee and light snacks provided. The collegia are particularly appealing to commuters, but even students who live on campus find them to offer a nice counterpoint to hectic college life. Stop by. You may make a new friend or have a conversation with one of your teachers. The College of Science and Engineering has its own McNulty Collegium, which is located at the northeast corner of the ground floor of the Lemieux Library. This collegium honors the memory of Father Edmund McNulty, founding dean of the College of Science and Engineering. 24. PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT With the high costs associated with going to school, many students find it necessary to work part time. This can be a valuable experience, particularly if you can find employment in a technical area. Many companies in the Puget Sound region have employment opportunities available for students while they are attending school. These can be thought of as an extension of your engineering education. Positions such as these are often the first step toward securing permanent employment upon graduation. Although part-time employment while attending school has some obvious benefits, it can also detract from a students education. Engineering is a demanding course of study that requires a considerable degree of attention. Time spent on the job is time not devoted to studies. Most students can handle ten hours of work per week without it affecting their performance in school. Strong students can work up to twenty hours per week and still perform well in their studies. Beyond that, however, compromises must be made. If your personal financial situation requires you to work a significant number of hours per week or if you find a particularly attractive job opportunity that you want to take advantage of, we urge you to consider attending school on a part-time basis. Otherwise, your grades are likely to suffer. Much more serious than poor grades, however, is potentially compromising the quality of your education. Learning takes place throughout your career and throughout life. Your time as an undergraduate, however, provides you with a nearly unique opportunity to study and master topics comprehensively and from basic principles. The department and individual faculty sometimes become aware of job openings for engineering students. These are usually announced through the cee-students@seattleu.edu e-mail alias that all civil and environmental engineering students are expected to join. In addition to talking to department faculty, check for job postings at the Career Development Center in the Student Center Pavilion and on their website, accessible through Seattle Universitys homepage. 22

The department and university offer some part-time student employment opportunities. Students grade papers for classes, assist in the laboratories, and work in computer laboratories. Inquire with faculty and in departmental offices to learn about these jobs. 25. COMPUTER ACCESS AND ELECTRONIC MAIL Primary access to computers for all students is in the University computer laboratories located in Rooms 309-310 of the Engineering Building. The Departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Mechanical Engineering also maintain IBM-compatible computers in Engineering Rooms 401 and 404 for students in both departments. These computers are also connected to the campus network through which students can use electronic mail (e-mail) and connect to the Internet for worldwide communication. Computer accounts are available at no charge to Seattle University students and you are encouraged to obtain an account as soon as you can. First, you must get your student identification card from the Campus Card Office located in Room ENGR 306B. You then bring your card to the campus computer help desk office, ENGR 306A, to get your computer account. The University Information Services division has brochures on our computer and e-mail systems available at their offices on the 6th floor of the Engineering Building. The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering makes extensive use of e-mail for communication among students and faculty. The e-mail addresses for our faculty are listed in Section 34 of this Handbook along with their office locations and phone numbers. We have an e-mail alias for all civil engineering students. The e-mail address for this list is cee-students@seattleu.edu. Announcements of events and notices of interest to students are posted to cee-students. To be added to the list, please send an e-mail to Listserver@seattleu.edu, and in the body of the message, write: subscribe cee-students. 26. BSCE DEGREE PROGRAM 26.1 Degree Requirements To graduate with a BSCE degree, students must complete all required courses as shown on the academic evaluation form in Appendix I. Students may review their own academic evaluation at any time using the www.suonline.edu web site. Students must have GPAs of 2.5 or better based both on their science and engineering courses alone and also on all courses taken at Seattle University. In addition to the course requirements, all students must take the Washington State Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination (previously called the EIT). Students may, if they prefer, take the FE examination in another state. The FE examination is offered only twice per year, in April and October, and by Washington State law the necessary lead time for 23

applications is a minimum of four months. Make inquiries related to the examination about one year prior to your intended graduation date. The web site is: www.wa.gov/dol/engineers/engfront.htm. Note that graduation requires only proof of having taken the FE examination. It is not necessary to pass the examination to graduate. Additional details regarding the FE examination can be found in Section 27. Detailed degree requirements and course descriptions are contained in the current Seattle University Undergraduate Bulletin of Information, which can be viewed at: www.seattleu.edu/home/learning_teaching/bulletins_of_information/undergraduate/. 26.2 Options Within the Civil and Environmental Engineering Curriculum The civil engineering curriculum has two primary tracks, both designed for flexibility to serve students with varying interests. These tracks are traditional civil engineering and civil engineering with an environmental engineering specialization within the accredited civil engineering program. Students in both tracks take the same mathematics and fundamental engineering courses such as statics, dynamics, strength of materials, soil mechanics, and fluid mechanics. Building on these fundamental courses, a number of electives are available for those who prefer to orient their programs in directions of environmental, geotechnical, hydraulics/water resources, or structural engineering. The same degree, Bachelor in Civil Engineering, is awarded for either track. Program check sheets showing required and elective courses in both tracks, as well as recommended sequencing of courses by quarter and year, are found in Appendix I, and a detailed description of the departmental courses is shown in the current Undergraduate Bulletin of Information. 26.3 University Core Curriculum The University Core Curriculum introduces all Seattle University students to the tradition of Jesuit liberal education. This curriculum is described in detail in the Undergraduate Bulletin of Information. Civil and Environmental Engineering students are required to take the courses of the University Core Curriculum with the following exceptions: 1) Fine Arts 120 is not required. 2) CEE 402 substitutes for the Social Sciences II requirement. Social Science I cannot be economics. 3) The senior synthesis requirement of the Core is met by the senior design project. 4) The interdisciplinary requirement of the Core is met by CEE 487 Engineering Design I.

24

Transfer students may have some of their University Core requirements modified or waived. These situations are discussed in Section 13 and summarized in Appendix I. Additional information about the University Core requirements for transfer students is available from the University Core Office in the Casey Building or from the Registrar's Office. 26.4 Course Alternatives in Non-Engineering Areas In the civil engineering curricula, courses from the following lists can be taken to fulfill requirements in the areas shown below: Social Science Core PSYC 120 Introductory Psychology PLSC 120 The Trouble with Government ISSS 120 Poverty in America SOCL 120 Sociological Perspectives ANTH 120 Introduction to Anthropology TRST Phase II Any approved five-credit course selected from TRST 200-299. TRST Phase III Any approved five-credit course selected from TRST 300-399. PHIL Ethics PHIL 345 PHIL 451 PHIL 352 PHIL 353 PHIL 359 Ethics Business Ethics Health Care Ethics Ethical Issues in Science and Technology Professional Ethics

26.5 Senior Engineering Design All senior engineering and computer science students participate in a sequence of courses which is considered to be a capstone design experience bringing together all aspects of their own departmental curricula as well as the interdisciplinary nature of solving "real world" problems. Through the Science and Engineering Project Center, student design teams work on industrially sponsored projects under the direction of a faculty member and a liaison engineer from the 25

sponsoring company. This experience is one of the distinct features of engineering education at Seattle University and is an embodiment of the Jesuit concept of education for the world. It is recommended and stated in the Undergraduate Bulletin of Information that students enrolling in senior design have senior standing, with the completion of all junior level courses. For those who have not completed all junior level courses, senior design can still be taken if the student is able to graduate no later than the end of the fall quarter after completion of the design sequence. If a student would have to stay for winter quarter anyway, he or she should delay enrolling in CEE 487 for another year, which would extend graduation by one quarter. The culmination of the senior design experience is Projects Day. Held on a Friday in late May or early June, Projects Day consists of student teams making formal presentations of their years work to an audience of project sponsors, faculty, and fellow students. In addition to the talks, students prepare demonstrations and have a poster session to further describe the projects. It is an exciting end to the year, and a fitting conclusion to an engineering students undergraduate career. 26.6 Curriculum Changes The civil engineering curriculum is under constant review by the faculty to enhance and improve our course offerings. From time to time, changes are made in the degree requirements. Students entering the program after such a change will be subject to the new degree requirements, which will be published in the Undergraduate Bulletin of Information. Students already enrolled will be allowed to complete the degree program under the requirements that existed when they entered, provided they are full-time students following the suggested sequence of courses and maintaining satisfactory progress. Part-time students or others who have not followed the suggested sequence of courses will have individual assessments of the courses needed for graduation. Such students will be provided an accredited program of study that may include courses from both the old and new curricula. 26.7 Laboratory Program The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has a major commitment to the important "hands-on" experience provided by laboratory courses. There is an additional fee for laboratory courses, which is published each year in the Undergraduate Bulletin of Information. Eight CEE laboratory courses are provided for the students. These include three stand-alone courses: CEEGR 222 - Strength of Materials Laboratory I CEEGR 324 - Strength of Materials Laboratory II CEEGR 337 - Fluids Laboratory

26

There are also five courses where laboratory experience is an important component of a lecture course. These are: CEEGR 311 - Engineering Measurements CEEGR 353 - Soil Mechanics CEEGR 473 - Principles of Environmental Engineering CEEGR 474 - Water Supply & Waste Water Engineering CEEGR 475 - Hazardous Waste Engineering 27. THE FUNDAMENTALS OF ENGINEERING EXAMINATION Taking the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Examination (formerly known as the Engineer in Training Examination) is required for graduation. Your graduation from Seattle University will not be affected by how well you do on the examination. You may choose to take the examination in a state other than Washington, and please see your department chair if you intend to do so. The examination consists of two written (multiple-choice) sessions. A four-hour morning session covers a wide range of engineering and related topics. In the afternoon session you may choose one of six possible specialty examinations (i.e., general, civil, environmental, mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering). The morning and afternoon sessions are weighted equally. What is the purpose of the FE Examination? For the department, the examination acts as an assessment of our graduates and, by extension, of our program. The department receives statistics outlining our graduates examination results in comparison with those of graduates of other engineering schools. For the individual student, the FE Exam is a step beyond obtaining an engineering degree in establishing credentials as a professional engineer. When the FE Exam has been successfully passed and the individual has gained sufficient work experience, the Professional Engineering Examination may be taken. Although a professional license is not required for many civil and environmental engineering careers, it is essential if you wish to do consulting or work for governmental agencies. Licensing is more important for some specialties (such as power engineering) than it is for others. Even if your career does not require it, licensing is a mark of distinction that indicates a superior level of accomplishment in your chosen profession. In the State of Washington, the FE Examination is administered by an office of the Department of Licensing. Contact information is: Department of Licensing Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors P.O. Box 9025 Olympia, WA 98507-9025 (360) 664-1575 e-mail: engineers@dol.wa.gov 27

The examination is offered twice per year, once in late April and again in late October/early November. Applications must be submitted four months prior to the time of the examination. Thus, you should contact the office in October if you want to sit for the April exam and in April if you want to sit for the following Octobers exam. This will give you sufficient time to fill out the application form and submit it before the deadline. The application fee is $30 (as of 2003). A fee of $70 (as of 2003) is due at the time of the application. The examination is given at several locations around the state, including the Seattle Center in recent years. Information regarding the exam schedule and process, as well as the application forms to take the FE Examination may be obtained online at http://www.dol.wa.gov/engineers/engfront.htm. 28. MINORS AND DOUBLE MAJORS Some students majoring in civil and environmental engineering are interested in obtaining minor degrees or even a second major. The Seattle Universitys policy regarding undergraduate minors and the specific requirements for each discipline are described in the Undergraduate Bulletin of Information. Civil and environmental engineering students will have thirty credits of mathematics. This typically qualifies them for minors in mathematics (subject to certain restrictions as outlined in the Bulletin), but the minor must be applied for. Over the years, civil and environmental engineering students have obtained minor degrees in a wide variety of fields. The most common of these are physics, mathematics, and computer science because of the close connection of those fields to civil engineering. If you wish to obtain a minor in a particular discipline, you must complete the form to apply for the minor and obtain the required signatures of the appropriate department chairs in order for the minor to be listed on your transcript. The policies on double majors and second baccalaureate degrees at Seattle University are detailed in Policy #76-2 (revised 11/93). 29. APPLYING FOR GRADUATION You should apply for graduation at the beginning of the academic year in which you intend to finish your studies. Graduation Work Sheets (a copy of which can be found in Appendix II) are included in the graduation package that is sent to you and are also available at the Registrar's Office. Submit the form to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The department chair will verify which courses remain to be taken and send the form back to the Registrar. You will then receive a notice from the Registrar of your remaining course requirements. It is to your advantage to submit a Graduation Work Sheet well in advance of your intended graduation date because the response you get back from the Registrar's Office represents an agreement between you and the university as to exactly what remains to be done. Once this process has been completed there can be no misunderstanding about remaining requirements. 28

The deadline for submitting applications is November 1 for graduation during the current academic year. If you do not apply for graduation by the deadline, conferral of your BSCE degree may be delayed until the following quarter. If you plan to finish your degree requirements in fall quarter, you may apply for graduation during the previous academic year, but you must apply no later than October 15 of the fall quarter. Students who will have ten or fewer credits remaining to complete their degree requirements at the end of spring quarter may participate in the universitys commencement exercises in June in accordance with the universitys policy on Commencement with Deficiencies. This policy is described in the Undergraduate Bulletin of Information. If you plan to participate in Commencement with deficiencies, you must file your application for graduation by the November 1 deadline. 30. CAREER DEVELOPMENT CENTER The ultimate goal of most civil and environmental engineering students is to work as a practicing civil and environmental engineer. Seeking your first job is a process that should begin up to a year prior to graduation. To aid in this process, the university has a Career Development Center. This office is located in the Student Center Pavilion (P-110) on campus. Professionals there can help you to develop a good resume and give you tips on how best to present yourself in interviews. The center is the focal point on campus for recruiters from companies. The department tries to help in this process also. Talk to faculty members who are most familiar with your background. Sometimes they might even have contacts in local industry and know of companies that are hiring. Consult the bulletin board outside the department office. Job notices are sometimes posted there, as well as electronically via the departments e-mail list server. Your job search should begin early in the year in which you intend to graduate. In times when jobs are scarce, much time may be needed in order to secure a position. Even when jobs are more plentiful, give yourself sufficient time to find the best possible situation. 31. GRADUATE SCHOOL Undergraduate programs in engineering provide a broad-based general education to those wishing to enter the engineering profession. Elective courses allow for a certain amount of specialization, but for the most part depth is sacrificed in favor of breadth. It is expected that practicing engineers will be life-long self learners in order to keep abreast of new developments and to gain the level of expertise required of particular job assignments. Graduate school provides a formal way of obtaining expert status in subfields of civil and environmental engineering. Some students enter graduate school directly upon finishing their undergraduate studies. Others may wait until they have gained a few years experience in the work place. If you think you may be interested in continuing your studies at the graduate level, talk to your 29

adviser and other faculty members. All have attended graduate school themselves and can talk to you about what to expect and help you with strategies for selecting and applying to graduate schools that would be appropriate for your goals. Some engineering graduates go on to studies in other professional areas such as business, law, or medicine. If interested in these fields, you can find resources at Seattle University to help guide you through the application process. 32. ASCE CODE OF ETHICS Engineering is not merely a job, it is a profession. This implies that engineers have a responsibility to society and should strive to maintain high levels of ethical and moral conduct. This sense of ethical behavior should definitely be a part of your conduct as a student. For your reference the ASCE Code of Ethics is included in Appendix II. 33. ACADEMIC HONESTY POLICY Seattle University is committed to the principles of academic honesty and integrity. Thus, the university has developed a policy that defines the standards of conduct, procedures, and penalties imposed by the faculty member (or dean or provost) on a student found to have violated the academic honesty policy (Policy #2004-01, Appendix II). The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering strictly adheres to the university academic honesty policy and has high expectations of our students to be honest and ethical in their conduct. Acts of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to, committing plagiarism, cheating on exams and other assignments, submitting false data, submitting work for multiple purposes, and falsifying academic documentation.
