Civil Engineering encompasses a wide range of engineering specialties. ISU's Civil Engineering Program equips students for achievement across all sectors. Graduates in Civil Engineering typically earn an average starting salary of approximately $72,000 annually. Exciting career paths involve the design, construction, and upkeep of permanent structures or public infrastructure connected to land, water, communities, and their systems. Engineering alumni from Idaho State University are thriving in numerous fields, with many pursuing further education in diverse engineering specializations.
Every student in an engineering program receives a faculty advisor to ensure a suitable academic plan and program consistency. Students fulfill general education requirements, take engineering coursework, and undertake a senior design project in their last two or three semesters.
Prospective engineering students should possess: (a) sufficient algebra and trigonometry skills to begin the calculus (MATH 1170) sequence and (b) basic knowledge of computer programming and fundamentals. Gaps in these areas might postpone progression into the major's four-year curriculum. Idaho State University offers preparatory mathematics and computing courses to address these needs.
