You perceive the world through a unique lens, viewing challenges as chances to enhance, rethink, and revolutionize how our infrastructure—like roads, bridges, and buildings—supports everyday life. The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) program at California Baptist University harnesses your inquisitive and innovative spirit, blending it with a passion for tackling real-world issues in infrastructure, design, and sustainability to create meaningful change in your community. Through thorough, practical education, you build a solid grounding in engineering, design, and project management, equipping you for entry-level civil engineering positions in government bodies, construction companies, or private industry.
Civil engineers shape every facet of contemporary society, from the highways we travel to the water we consume. At CBU, you'll discover how to integrate a Christian perspective into your civil engineering practice, enhancing living standards for communities both near and far.
To ready yourself for a civil engineering career, explore topics such as:
The essential concepts of engineering design and analysis.
Basics of computer programming, covering high-level block structured languages like C, current programming techniques, algorithm development, and additional areas. Visualization languages. Microbiology, chemistry, and physics tailored for engineers.
Surveying, which involves spatial measurements for engineering applications, including error theory and the operation of surveying tools, technology, and software.
Pursuing a Career with a Civil Engineering Degree
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for civil engineers is expected to grow by seven percent each year over the next ten years. This translates to about 24,000 annual job openings for civil engineers. As professionals retire or shift careers, coupled with a national focus on infrastructure enhancement, the need for civil engineers and their specialized skills will continue to rise.
The median yearly salary for civil engineers is $88,050, with a spectrum from $60,550 to $133,320 based on factors like industry, location, education, and experience.
