The following information is provided for Civil Engineering students pursuing the Consulting Engineering certificate.  Students from other majors should refer to the Special Programs section of the Undergraduate Bulletin on the Registrar's web page.

Through the generosity of J. B. Wilson, a prominent consulting engineer of Indianapolis, a program was established in 1973 to emphasize career opportunities in the field of consulting engineering and to provide selected courses which would be beneficial to students interested in consulting engineering careers. A Consulting Engineering Council consisting of practicing consulting engineers and selected members of the faculty administers this program.

Listed below is a program guide of recommended courses for a civil engineering student interested in consulting engineering. This is not a degree program but is a supplement to the normal engineering degree programs. Some of the courses are in addition to the normal engineering degree programs and may result in a student earning more credits than are required for the B.S. degree in civil engineering.

Students desirous of pursuing the Consulting Engineering Program should enroll in the Program by filing a declaration-of-intent form with the Chairman of the Commission. In order to be certified as having completed the Program, a student is required to successfully complete the prescribed list of courses, complete the requirements for a degree in Engineering, and take the Fundamentals of Engineering examination prior to graduation.

Upon completion of the program, the student will receive a Certificate of Completion at the time of their graduation from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Completion of the program will be noted on the student's official transcript
but not on the diploma.
