In particular, the Department reduced the number of credits in thecurriculum by consolidating several related topics into a few key courses. One of these courses,Civil Engineering Fundamentals, is taught in the fall semester of the sophomore year and servesas an introduction to the engineering program. The course includes three 50-minute lectures andone 3-hour laboratory session per week over a 14-week semester. There are two sections of thecourse, each of which has between 20 and 30 students.
