Required Subjects
84
Core
1.018J Ecology I: The Earth System, 12, REST
1.020 Ecology II: Engineering for Sustainability, 12, CI-M
1.050 Engineering Mechanics I, 12; 8.01, 18.02
1.060 Engineering Mechanics II, 12; 1.050, 18.03
18.03 Differential Equations, 12, REST; 18.02 or 18.014
One of the following two subjects:
1.00 Introduction to Computers and Engineering Problem Solving, 12, REST; 18.01
1.010 Uncertainty in Engineering, 12; 18.02  
Laboratory
1.101 Introduction to Civil and Environmental Engineering Design I, 6, 1/2 LAB; 1.050, 1.018
1.102 Introduction to Civil and Environmental Engineering Design II, 6, 1/2 LAB; 1.101, 1.060, 1.020
Restricted Electives
84
Students are required to take a coherent set of seven full subjects that meet a well-defined educational goal. These may be from within or outside the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The electives must be approved by the student's academic advisor and the undergraduate officer of the department.
Departmental Program Units That also Satisfy the GIRs
(36)
Unrestricted Electives
48
Total Units Beyond the GIRs Required for SB Degree
180
No subject can be counted both as part of the 17-subject GIRs and as part of the 180 units required beyond the GIRs. Every subject in the student's departmental program will count toward one or the other, but not both.
Notes
(1) To satisfy the CI-M component of the Communication Requirement, students must take the department's two CI-M subjects (1.013 and 1.020) or, if appropriate, take one Course 1 CI-M subject and petition to substitute one CI-M from another science or engineering field. The outside CI-M must fit into the coherent program of electives approved by the student's academic advisor.
For an explanation of credit units, or hours, please refer to the Subject Key in Part 3 of this Bulletin.
