HOW TO USE THE TABLE
NOTE:
This table is not a ranking of civil engineering schools.
It is an informational tool for students and others to use
in learning more about and comparing these programs.
Civil engineering (CE) programs
within colleges and universities are grouped geographically
by standard zones of the American Society of Civil Engineers
and are listed alphabeticallly. West (Zone IV) = Calif., Ore.,
Wash., Idaho, Utah, Ariz., Nev., Mont., Alaska and Hawaii.
Central (Zone III) = Wyo., Colo., N.M., Iowa, Kan., Minn.,
Mo., Neb., Texas, Okla., Wis., N.D., S.D. and Ill. Mid-Southeast
(Zone II) = Ark., La., Miss., Ala. Ga., Fla., S.C., N.C.,
Tenn. Ky., W.Va., Va., Ind., Ohio and Mich., Northeast (Zone
I) = Conn., Del., N.H., Maine, Mass., Md., N.J., N.Y., Pa.,
R.I.; Vt., and Washington, D.C.
Listings include CE program's next
level of academic structure if it is not a defined department.
All schools are accredited by the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology (ABET) or have accreditations pending.
The year of latest ABET accreditation is provided. Website
address may be for civil engineering program or overall college/university.
NA= Data unavailable or not provided. Figures have been rounded
up to whole numbers or to the nearest hundred. Footnotes are
explained at the bottom of each page.
Student enrollment data is for
2001-2002 year and includes full-time, part-time, undergraduate
and graduate, unless otherwise noted. Tuition data includes
fees, but not room and board charges. Figures have been updated
for 2002-2003 from additional sources, where possible. For
public institutions, separate figures are given for residents
(R) and nonresidents (NR). Please check individual CE programs
for up-to-date figures. Calendar= semester (Sem), Quarter
(Qtr) or Trimester (Tri).
F/T faculty = Full-time. P/T =
Part-time or adjunct. Figures are for Spring 2002. P.E. =
Professional Engineer's license. F.E. = Fundamentals of Engineering
examination.
Faculty Expertise Three-letter
designation indicates the largest number of full-time faculty,
in descending order, in these CE fields: Cold regions engineering
(CLD); Construction engineering management (CM); Environmental
engineering (ENV); General civil (CIV); Geographic-surveying
(SVY); Geotechnical engineering (GEO); Materials science (MAT);
Ocean-coastal engineering (OCN); Structural engineering (STR);
Systems engineering (SYS); Transportation engineering (TRN);
Water resources engineering (WAT); and Other (OTH).The field
or fields with the largest CE faculty concentration are listed
in bold type.
The
entire survey of "U.S. Civil Engineering Schools"
is published in the Oct. 21, 2002 issue of ENR. Copies of
the issue can be obtained from ENR by calling Phyllis Moody
