ACADEMIC ADVISING

Mission Statement: Academic advising in the College of Engineering is a partnership between the students and advisors, who are committed to facilitating the students’ successful transition to the University environment; to supporting their holistic development as self-directed, life-long learners and decision makers; and assisting in the discovery of personal values and goals through self-assessment of skills, interests and abilities, which will lead to satisfying and rewarding major and career choices.

Civil & Environmental Engineering Undergraduate Academic Advising Office: All Pre-Civil, Pre-Environmental, Civil and Environmental Engineering students will be advised by the CEG Undergraduate Advisors. Students will work in collaboration with the Undergraduate Advisors to plan their curriculum in order to ensure that students complete required courses in a timely manner. Students are encouraged to meet with an Academic Advisor as needed, but at least once a year to review their academic progress and course sequencing. The CEG Advising Office is located in 495 Hitchcock Hall. The CEG Advisors will be available to students for appointments or through walk-in hours, though hours of availability will vary. Please refer to the CEG Advising website for current contact information and walk-in availability. It is the role of the Academic Advisor to:

Provide current and accurate information regarding the Civil and Environmental programs

Assist students in making course selections and with academic planning

Refer students to appropriate University, College and Department resources

Provide information pertaining to research, internship and other opportunities

Clarify College and Department policies and procedures It is the role of the Student to:

Monitor progress towards and know requirements of your degree program

Be prepared with accurate information and materials when contacting an advisor

Be aware of University policies and procedures

Know how academic actions affect your status: financial aid, insurance, visa, probation

Seek assistance before a situation or issue escalates

Explore your academic, potential career and personal growth opportunities

Faculty Advising: Students are assigned a faculty advisor upon admission to the Civil or Environmental Engineering major. Faculty advisors assist students in selecting the technical elective courses that best complement each student’s academic and career goals. Faculty can provide guidance towards students’ professional development and can serve as a great resource for students with regards to career advice, research opportunities, and learning more about graduate school. Students are required to meet with their faculty advisor at certain points in their academic careers and these required meetings are outlined in the Meetings with Faculty Advisors section of the handbook.

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

The Department offers two ABET-Accredited Bachelor’s degree programs: BS-Civil Engineering and BS-Environmental Engineering. The curriculum includes required courses as established by the University, College and Department.

The General Education (GE) curriculum is considered the foundation of the University’s degree and is intended to provide the student with a well-rounded education. GE courses are required in all majors, though the requirements will vary based upon College or School of enrollment. Please refer to the General Education section of the Handbook for details. The Engineering Core courses are considered the foundation of an engineering degree and are required of all students in the College of Engineering, regardless of intended major. These courses include Engineering 1100, 1181 and 1182, Physics 1250, as well as Math 1151 and 1172. The Civil or Environmental Engineering Pre-Major includes the courses required for admission to your intended major and will vary based upon intended major. These courses are factored into the Eligibility Point Hour Ratio (EPHR) which will be used for admission consideration and academic standards. Please refer to the Admission to CEG section of the Handbook for details. The Civil or Environmental Engineering Major includes coursework required for the degree as well as electives. Requirements and electives will vary based upon major and are typically restricted to students who have been admitted to the major program. The courses in the Civil or Environmental Major will be calculated into the Major Point Hour Ratio (MPHR) which will be monitored under the academic standards policy. Please refer to the Curriculum charts for details regarding these classes.

ADMISSION TO CEG PROGRAMS

Entry into Civil or Environmental Engineering Pre-majors: Students currently enrolled in the College of Engineering, either in a different engineering pre-major or undeclared engineering, should contact a CEG advisor to discuss the required curriculum, admission procedures and to update the student’s major.

Students currently enrolled in a major outside of the College of Engineering, must have credit for Math 1151 (with a grade of C or higher) AND one of the following science courses: Physics 1250, Chemistry 1210, Chemistry 1250 or Biology 2100, and a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher in order to enroll in the pre-civil or pre-environmental programs. Once these criteria have been met, the student should contact a CEG advisor to discuss the curriculum, admission procedures and to update the student’s major.

Entry into Civil or Environmental Engineering Majors: Students must formally apply to enter the Undergraduate Civil or Environmental Engineering major. Admission is not offered every term. Deadlines, instructions for applying to the major and the application are available on the Civil, Environmental, and Geodetic Engineering website.

Criteria for Acceptance to Civil and Environmental Engineering program: In order to be considered for admission to the major, students must have successfully completed or be currently enrolled at the time of application in all the pre-Civil Engineering or pre-Environmental Engineering courses. Students must complete all of the courses in this group with an Eligibility Point Hour Ratio (EPHR) of at least 2.0, based on all grades earned in this group, excluding Engineering 1100 and English 1110. Students must also have attained a minimum Cumulative Point Hour Ratio (CPHR) of 2.0 at Ohio State (and also other universities/colleges for transfer students) before they are eligible to apply to the major and proceed with their Civil or Environmental Engineering curriculum.

Civil Engineering: The following coursework is required for admission to the Civil Engineering major and are factored into the EPHR: Math 1151 and 1172 (or Math 1161 and 2162); Physics 1250 and 1251 (or Physics 1260 and 1261); Engineering 1181 and 1182 (or Engineering 1188, 1186 and 1187; or Engineering 1281H and 1282H); or equivalents. In addition, students must have successfully completed English 1110.0x and one credit hour of an ENG Survey 1100 (or another academic program) course.

Environmental Engineering: The following coursework is required for admission to the Environmental Engineering major and are factored into the EPHR: Math 1151 and 1172 (or Math 1161 and 2162); Physics 1250 (or Physics 1260); Chemistry 1210 and 1220; Engineering 1181 and 1182 (or Engineering 1188, 1186 and 1187; or Engineering 1281H and 1282H); and Mechanical Engineering 2040; or equivalents. In addition, students must have successfully completed English 1110.0x and one credit hour of an ENG Survey 1100 (or another academic program) course.

Transfer Students: Transfer students seeking admission into a pre-major of the College of Engineering must meet the same individual requirements as students transferring from within Ohio State. Students transferring from another institution must have earned a minimum CPHR of 2.0 at the Ohio State before applying to the civil or environmental engineering major program. Students who have transferred more than 50 percent of coursework used to determine the pre-civil or pre-environmental engineering EPHR will have these courses factored into their EPHR for admission purposes by the CEG Advising Office.

ACADEMIC STANDARDS Academic Standards Policies Academic Probation is a method of closely monitoring the grades of students who did not meet the 2.0 minimum standard requirement set by the College of Engineering and the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geodetic Engineering. It is designed to help students who are having academic difficulties make the necessary adjustments to become successful students. The goal is to help students recover from academic mishaps before the situation worsens. All CEG pre-major and major students are required to maintain a CPHR, and EPHR or MPHR of 2.0 or higher in order to remain in good standing with the University, College and Department. Students who fail to maintain these standards will be subject to academic sanctions. The CPHR includes all course grades earned at the University and all attempts made. Transfer Credit is not factored into a student’s CPHR. As previously described, the EPHR will include those courses specifically required for admission to major, excluding Engineering 1100 and English 1110. The EPHR will include the most recent grade earned for each course. The MPHR will include all Civil, Environmental, and Mechanical Engineering coursework, as well as all other courses required for the degree, excluding GEs and those courses required for admission to major. The MPHR will include the most recent grade earned for each course. CEG students are subject to the following academic sanctions by the Department:

Academic Warning: The Department recognizes that transitioning to the University may be challenging for some students. Therefore, if at the conclusion of a pre-major student’s first term of enrollment at the OSU, the student has failed to maintain a 2.0 or higher EPHR, the student will receive an Academic Warning from the Department. Special Action Probation: If at any time the progress or success of a student in the pre-major, BS-Civil or BS-Environmental Engineering program is determined to be unsatisfactory (EPHR or MPHR falls below 2.0), the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geodetic Engineering will place the student on Special Action Academic Probation (SAP). Department Dismissal: If the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geodetic Engineering find a student unsatisfactory in meeting the conditions placed on his or her probation, the Department may dismiss the student from the academic program. A CEG student on SAP will not be dismissed unless at least 10 hours of monitored coursework have been attempted. Department Reinstatement: Any student who has been dismissed from the College of Engineering and/or the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geodetic Engineering for the first time, may petition the CEG Undergraduate Studies Committee (USC) for reinstatement consideration. Reinstatement is not an immediate process nor guaranteed. Each student’s petition will be evaluated and individual conditions for reinstatement will be determined by the USC. Students granted reinstatement will remain on SAP for a minimum of 2 full academic terms of enrollment. Students granted reinstatement by the Department and who fail to meet the conditions of their probation will be dismissed and are prohibited from reapplying to the Department for 5 years (as outlined in the University’s Fresh Start Rule).

BS-Civil & BS-Environmental Engineering Program Objectives & Outcomes Program Educational Objectives and Student Outcomes reflect terminology utilized by our accrediting agency, ABET (http://www.abet.org/). Objectives represent accomplishments graduates of the program are expected to achieve within a few years after graduation and reflect the needs of the program’s students, alumni, employers and departmental faculty. Outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. They reflect the skills, knowledge and behavior students acquire as they progress through the Civil Engineering or Environmental Engineering program.

The Objectives and Outcomes of the Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering programs are identical. For both programs there are three objectives, numbered (1) through (3), and eleven outcomes, numbered (a) through (k). The outcomes (a) through (k) correspond directly to those listed by ABET in their Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs.
