[Cee-grad-students] [CEE Juniors] Program Update: Prerequisite required for CE 484/L Capstone
by CEE Department 14 May '25

14 May '25

CEE Juniors, The CEE Department has made an update to our program that will affect your senior year course plan. Beginning this upcoming academic year, all students planning to register for Capstone (CE 484: Civil & Environmental Engineering Project Management and Design I) in Winter and Spring 2026 must register for *CE 478: CEE Construction Management & Estimating* in *Fall 2025*. CE 478 is a new 1-credit course which will introduce you to construction management and engineering economics, which are both relevant to the FE exam and to the Capstone experience. Moving forward, this course will be required for all senior students as a prerequisite to Capstone, and will count toward technical elective credit requirements for students using the 2024 catalog year or earlier for their bachelor’s degree. Please note that this new requirement only applies to students who have not yet taken Capstone.* If you have already completed *or are* in progress to complete *Capstone, you are* not required* to take CE 478. If you are a *CECOP/MECOP student *with an internship in Fall term, we will work with you so you can complete this course. Please register for CE 478, and contact the instructor, Patrick McLaughlin <pmm(a)pdx.edu> for further instructions. If you have questions about course planning, understanding your catalog year, or anything else regarding this change, please schedule an appointment with your Upper Division Advisor, Evan Kristof: Calendly - Evan Kristof <https://calendly.com/ekristof>. Thank you - CEE Department *--* *The CEE Department office is open Monday-Thursday from 9am-5pm, *with remote assistance available on Fridays. Please email ceedept(a)pdx.edu for the fastest response, as this inbox is monitored by all staff.

[Cee-grad-students] [CEE Undergraduate Students] Announcement: CE and EnvE Program Changes for Catalog Year 2025
by CEE Department 12 May '25

12 May '25

CEE Undergraduate Students, The Department has updated the degree requirements for the Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering programs beginning in catalog year 2025, which will go into effect in Fall term. *What is a catalog year?* The catalog year defines the specific set of requirements you need to complete a degree. T*ypically, your catalog year is the year you began the Upper Division program; *however, you may be able to use a different catalog year, and as requirements occasionally change, it may benefit you to do so. *What has changed?* Beginning with catalog year 2025, the following program requirement changes will go into effect: *Civil Engineering 2025 Catalog Year Updates:* - EC 314U is no longer required - CE 211/212 is no longer required - CE 478, a new 1 credit course, is now required for all students in the fall term preceding Capstone - 16 Technical Elective credits are now required (reduced from 19 credits) - BS CE 4-year Degree Map <https://www.pdx.edu/registration/civil-engineering-bachelor-science-2025-26…> *Environmental Engineering 2025 Catalog Year Updates:* - EC 314U is no longer required - Bi 235 is no longer required - CE 478, a new 1 credit course, is now required for all students in the fall term preceding Capstone - 20 Technical Elective credits are now required (reduced from 24 credits) - BS ENVE 4-year Degree Map <https://www.pdx.edu/registration/environmental-engineering-bachelor-science…> *How does this impact me?* If you are following program requirements from catalog year 2024 or earlier, you have the choice to continue or switch to the 2025 catalog year requirements. The most beneficial path varies from student to student, and switching catalog years could have unforeseen and far-reaching effects on your course plan, so we encourage you to meet with the CEE Upper Division Advisor <https://www.pdx.edu/civil-environmental-engineering/undergraduate-advising> to determine which catalog year requirements make sense for you.

[Cee-grad-students] Reminder of PSU Composting Policy
by CEE Department 24 Apr '25

24 Apr '25

Hello CEE community, PSU Waste Management has recently noticed an uptick in non-compostable items in the compost bins in EB - both in the Departmemt Suite kitchenettes, and in the public receptacles throughout the building. Inclusion of non-compostable items in these bins will contaminate larger batches, which requires everything in that batch to be thrown in the garbage - so it's important that we abide by PSU's composting policy, which may differ from what you're used to at home. With few exceptions, only organic material such as *food scrap *or *plant debris* can be composted at PSU. Some examples of* non-compostable items *at PSU include paper towels and plates; containers marketed as 'compostable' like some coffee cups and to-go cartons; and recyclables like cardboard, aluminum, and glass. More information can be found on the PSU Composts website <https://www.pdx.edu/sustainability/waste-management#composts> - but when in doubt, it is better to throw something in the garbage than risk contaminating the compost. Continued misuse of the compost bins could result in Waste Management removing them from EB, so we appreciate your attention to this issue and your continued committment to sustainability! Best, CEE Department *--* *The CEE Department office is open Monday-Thursday from 9am-5pm, *with remote assistance available on Fridays.
