Pre or co requisites: Technical Drawing, On track in Science and Mathematics Selection criteria: Review of permanent record Junior Year Courses: Civil Engineering (A surveying generated course, where time will be spent in Ft. Greene Park)
Senior Year Courses: Structural Design; Civil Engineering Computer Application DESCRIPTION: Today, we hardly give a second thought to the vast network of superhighways that make nationwide travel so pleasant and easy. All these highways, with their bridges and tunnels, entrances and exits, were planned, designed, and built under the supervision of civil engineers. But civil engineers design and supervise all types of construction projects; harbors, dams, power plants, factories, parks, sanitation facilities, etc. making the field of civil engineering as specialized as it is diversified. There are structural specialists and highway specialists, city-planning specialists, and hydraulic specialists- specialists, in fact, for just about anything there is to be built. A new and challenging part of civil engineering is environmental engineering, focusing on the problems of pollution and urban renewal. A closely related field is architectural engineering which is concerned with the aesthetic beauty of buildings as well as their structural design. The Civil Engineering Major provides basic training in the fundamentals related to this field. Students will take such subjects as: structural design, computer-aided design, highway design and bridge construction. In addition, surveying is offered giving students "hands-on" experience in acquiring these skills. THE AVAILABILITY OF THE ABOVE COURSES IS ALWAYS DEPENDENT ON BOARD OF EDUCATION FUNDING.
