Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
in
Our mission is to provide students with a broad, fundamental and flexible educational program and to expand engineering knowledge through an active and exciting undergraduate and graduate research program. The department is dedicated to providing life-long development, instilling a sense of professional responsibility, and serving our society.
To receive an accredited B.S. degree in civil engineering and environmental engineering, undergraduate students enroll in courses in the three main thrust areas: structural analysis, design and reliability; transportation systems engineering and optimization; and, water resources and environmental engineering. Graduate students also pursue research in one of the four research thrust areas to receive an M.S. or Ph.D. in civil engineering: environmental processes, hydrology and water resources, structural engineering, and transportation systems engineering.
