Those who intend to apply
for graduate study in civil and environmental
engineering but do not hold a baccalaureate in
civil engineering programs accredited by ABET
(Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology), must complete certain undergraduate
requirements before beginning any of the graduate
programs in the department.
MATHEMATICS
&
SCIENCE (up
to 29 units)
It is expected that those
students who enter the upper-division engineering
science and civil engineering courses (on the
make-up list) as well as graduate courses, will
have completed the following sequence of SJSU
mathematics and science courses, or their
equivalents at another university or community
college:
Mathematics:
Math 30 Calculus
I
Math 31 Calculus II
Math 32 Calculus III
Math 133A Differential Equations
Math 129A (not required, but recommended for
structural students)
Physics:
Phys. 70-Gen.
Phys (mechanics)
Phys. 71-Gen. Phys (electricity and magnetism)
Chemistry:
Chem 11A-
Chemistry for Engineers
Chem 11B - (not required, but recommended for
environmental students)
Also, all students entering the upper division in
engineering must be prepared to work in an
interactive computer environment.
ENGINEERING
SCIENCE &
CIVIL ENGINEERING (up to 33 units)
The following table contains prerequisite lists
for each of the special areas within civil
engineering in which this department offers
graduate programs. Students intending to earn
masters in civil engineering at SJSU must complete
these either at SJSU or in some other
ABET-accredited engineering program. It is best to
complete them before applying for graduate
standing, although they may be taken as a
Conditionally Classified Graduate Student.
These requirements are to be considered minimal.
Others might be added in special cases. Deletions
are possible, but only in exceptional cases where
applicants have clearly demonstrated knowledge and
experience equivalent to course content here at
SJSU. For example, deletions might be made for
California registered civil or mechanical
engineers whose professional titles and duties
clearly reflect such equivalence.
Students who have pursued engineering programs at
U.S. institutions in which none of the programs
have been accredited by ABET will be required to
take the prerequisites indicated. This will also
be true for those whose bachelor's degrees are in
ABET-accredited technology programs.
