Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Bachelor of Science in Engineering
General Institute Requirements (GIRs)
The General Institute Requirements include a Communication Requirement that is integrated into both the HASS Requirement and the requirements of each major; see details below.
| Summary of Subject Requirements | Subjects | 
|---|---|
| Science Requirement | 6 | 
| Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (HASS) Requirement; at least two of these subjects must be designated as communication-intensive (CI-H) to fulfill the Communication Requirement. | 8 | 
| Restricted Electives in Science and Technology (REST) Requirement [can be satisfied by 1.000 and 18.03 in the Departmental Program] | 2 | 
| Laboratory Requirement (12 units) [can be satisfied from among 1.101 and 1.104 or 1.106 and 1.107 in the Departmental Program] | 1 | 
| Total GIR Subjects Required for SB Degree | 17 | 
| Physical Education Requirement | |
|---|---|
| Swimming requirement, plus four physical education courses for eight points. | 
Departmental Program
Choose at least two subjects in the major that are designated as communication-intensive (CI-M) to fulfill the Communication Requirement.

| Elective Subjects with Engineering Content 2 | ||
| Students are required to take at least four Restricted Electives selected from subjects offered within or outside CEE to form a coherent program of study under supervision by CEE faculty. | 48-51 | |
| Units in Major | 168 | |
| Unrestricted Electives 2 | 48 | |
| Units in Major That Also Satisfy the GIRs | (36) | |
| Total Units Beyond the GIRs Required for SB Degree | 180 | |
The units for any subject that counts as one of the 17 GIR subjects cannot also be counted as units required beyond the GIRs.
| 1 | Students are expected to take 6-unit 1.013 twice. | 
| 2 | In order to reach the 180 units beyond the GIRs required, students may need to take more than 48 units of Restricted and/or Unrestricted Electives. See the catalog for a list of CEE subjects. Direct requests for more information to cee-apo@mit.edu. |
