The civil engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.

Capstone Major

The Civil Engineering major is a designated capstone major. In each of the major field design courses, students work individually and in groups to complete design projects. To do so, they draw on their prior coursework, research the needed materials and possible approaches to creating their device or system, and come up with creative solutions. This process enables them to integrate many of the principles they have learned previously and apply them to real systems. In completing their projects, students are also expected to demonstrate effective oral and written communication skills, as well as their ability to work productively with others as part of a team.

Educational Objectives

The objectives of the civil engineering curriculum at UCLA are to (1) provide graduates with a solid foundation in basic mathematics, science, and humanities, as well as fundamental knowledge of relevant engineering principles; (2) provide students with the capability for critical thinking, engineering reasoning, problem solving, experimentation, and teamwork; (3) prepare graduates for advanced study and/or professional employment within a wide array of industries or governmental agencies; (4) produce graduates who understand ethical issues associated with their profession, and who are able to apply their acquired knowledge and skills to the betterment of society; and (5) foster in students a respect for the educational process that is manifest by a lifelong pursuit of learning.

Learning Outcomes

The Civil Engineering major has the following learning outcomes:

  • Understanding of, and ability to apply, basic mathematical and scientific concepts that underlie the field
  • Ability to contribute meaningfully to design projects
  • Critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and familiarity with computational procedures essential to the field
  • Ability to work productively as a member of a team
  • Effective oral and written communication skills
