You see the world differently. Instead of problems, you see opportunities to upgrade, reimagine and innovate the way our roads, bridges and buildings sustain our daily lives. California Baptist University's Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) program utilizes your curiosity and innovation, combining it with your interest in solving real-world infrastructure, design and sustainability obstacles to make a tangible impact on your community. With the comprehensive, hands-on training, you gain a firm foundation in engineering, design and project management and are well prepared for entry-level civil engineering roles in government agencies, construction firms or the private sector.
From the roads we drive on to the water we drink, civil engineers influence every aspect of our modern society. At CBU, you learn how to infuse a Christian worldview into your work as a civil engineer and improve the quality of life for local and global communities.
In preparation for your career as a civil engineer, learn about:
The core principles of engineering design and analysis.
The fundamentals of computer programming, including high-level block structured language using C, modern programming methodologies, algorithm development and more. Visualization languages. Microbiology, chemistry and physics for engineers.
Surveying or the study of relative spatial measurements for engineering purposes, including the theory of errors and how to use surveying instruments, technology and software.
Career with a Civil Engineering Degree
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects civil engineers employment to increase by seven percent annually for the next decade. This means approximately 24,000 job openings for civil engineers each year. With engineers retiring or moving to different careers and a nationwide emphasis on improving infrastructure, the demand for civil engineers and their expertise will increase.
Civil engineers median annual salary is 88,050 but ranges from 60,550 to 133,320, depending on the industry, state of employment, education and experience.
