Overview

Students completing the program will be able to... Apply the skills and knowledge acquired to analyze issues, solve problems, and critically evaluate a proposal or a process. Use appropriate quantitative tools to answer scientific questions, represent data, and document scientific findings. Demonstrate effective communication with fellow team members, the public, and members of the scientific community, using written, oral, and visual communication methods. Safely and appropriately use standard laboratory or field equipment to make precise and reliable measurements. Analyze the internal forces and moments in statically determinate structures. The associate in science degree in civil engineering (ASCE) is offered to prepare students to transfer to a four-year institution in the civil engineering major. The graduates of this program will be able to apply the basic principles of civil engineering to a variety of technical projects related to the design, construction, managing and sustaining of a wide range of developments such as structural systems, buildings, highways, waterways, lifelines, and infrastructures. The DVC ASCE degree is intended for transfer. Degree requirements at four-year programs differ from institution to institution, so students wishing to transfer to a particular four-year program must consult with a counselor regarding specific major requirements of a particular university program. Additionally, students are advised that other courses in math, physics and chemistry may be required and that engineering courses have science and math prerequisites. It is recommended that the students contact the counseling office for advisement regarding appropriate sequencing. Finally, the ASCE is a high-unit major; students are advised to meet with a counselor to determine appropriate general education courses to complete their degree requirements. To earn an ASCE degree students must complete each course used to meet a major requirement with a “C” grade or higher and complete general education requirements as listed in the catalog. Major requirements may be taken only on a “for grade” basis. Certain courses may satisfy both major and general education requirements; however the units are only counted once.

Optional Practical Training (OPT)

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
