The Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering offers undergraduate degree programs in civil engineering, construction engineering and environmental engineering, all accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. Graduation from an ABET accredited program is the first step toward Professional Engineering licensure. The Department is among the largest and is highly ranked compared to peer programs nationwide. Faculty expertise and elective courses cover a wide range of topics including: coastal engineering, computer modelling and simulation, construction engineering, construction and transportation materials, environmental engineering, geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, structural engineering, transportation systems, and water resources engineering. All three degree programs prepare students for engineering practice as well as graduate education and research.

Our overarching theme is sustainable infrastructure for society and our mission as civil, construction, and environmental engineers is to develop engineering solutions to better the human condition by improving infrastructure, human health, and the environment.  This includes the design, construction and operation of facilities that we use daily including roads, bridges, tunnels, buildings, clean water for drinking and recreation, transportation networks, flood control systems and much more.  We live by the principle that diversity makes us stronger and everyone has the right to be respected. Welcome to the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering.
