Honors Opportunities in the CEE Department
Barrett, The Honors College at ASU, is a selective, small undergraduate college responsible for recruiting academically outstanding undergraduates to ASU and organizing the resources of that major research university for their benefit. The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Barrett Honors College work together to provide their students academic advising, research and internship opportunities, scholarship information and access to distinguished lectures and other special events.
By taking CEE courses under an honors designation, CEE honors students work on special projects that provide them an expanded understanding of the course subject matter. These courses allow the students to work on exciting research with faculty members. Such experiences distinguish honors students from other students and help them gain entrance to graduate programs and/or achieve a better career. Honors students receive special invitations to various events, including meeting industry, faculty and staff. They can also gain funding for research or travel to conferences held in other cities.
Academic Requirements
To graduate as a Barrett Honors student, you must meet certain academic requirements listed on the Barrett Honors College Web site. Prospective students should review the Admission Frequently Asked Questions Admissions FAQs for additional information including the application deadlines, minimum entrance requirements, and more.
One of the important requirements is that students must complete a thesis/creative project for three to six credit hours. CEE students can take CEE 492: Honors Directed Study and CEE 493: Honors Thesis, with approval from a sponsoring faculty advisor. The CEE senior project course CEE 486 can replace CEE 493.
