Courses
Probability and statistics theories and application at the introduction and intermediate level. Topics include: discrete and continuous random variables and various distributions with an emphasis on civil and environmental engineering applications. Descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals and linear regression analysis are covered. This course is intended for undergraduate students who are engaged in research or plan to pursue a graduate education.

The professional nature of engineering and the code of ethics which governs its practice. Safety issues pertaining to field practice by civil engineers are covered. Students learn to make competent on-the-job decisions and improve professional practice with an emphasis on safety for workers in the field. Requirements include completing an OSHA safety certification course, for which students pay a fee.
