Advising
The Department of Civil Engineering offers a complete undergraduate program to earn a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering degree to students on the Lincoln and Omaha campuses of the University of Nebraska. Curriculum requirements are nearly identical on both campuses. Below are advising materials for each campus which have been modified to include the course numbers outside of the Engineering College and useful information specific to each campus.

B.S. CIVE Program Flow Chart
Since few students take classes exactly as listed in the 8 semester plan, a flow chart has been developed that lists as a row the courses for each semester in the 8 semester plan, with solid lines showing pre-requests and dashed lines for classes that can be taken in parallel.

College of Engineering Summer Study Abroad Program
The College's Summer Study Abroad Program offers students the opportunity to visit significant sties around the world and learn about the how and way of engineering, science and technology throughout time. Examples of programs in the past summers include Brazil, Italy, Great Britain and France. All programs allow students to earn humanities and social science credits towards their engineering degree. Some programs also allow students to earn technical elective credits towards their engineering degree. For more information about this program, see the College of Engineering Web site (study abroad section).
Fundamentals of Engineering Exam
To pursue a professional license, you must pass one of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examinations. Most BS CIVE students take the exam one or two semesters before graduation. Chi Epsilon offers FE Review sessions on both the Lincoln (both fall and spring) and Omaha (spring only) campuses. More information about the FE exam is available at the below links:
