Design Credit

Design Credits from Professional Electives

The CEE department requires that a total of 18 credit hours of design be taken.  For the CE degree, through required courses (CE 212; CE 301; CE 310; CE 320; CE 330; CE 340; CE 441 or CE 442; and CE 490 or CE 491 or CE 492) you will have accumulated 13 design credits.  Therefore, CE majors will need to obtain the remaining 5 design credits from the professional elective courses (see special notes section).  Required courses for the EN major supply 9 or 8 design credits depending whether CE 479 or CE 480 is taken.  Therefore additional 9 or 10 design credits must be obtained from the Core Professional Courses and Professional Electives. The following is a list of courses that carry design credits.
