Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering
The Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering offers undergraduate degree programs in civil engineering, construction engineering, and environmental engineering, 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 modeling, AI, and simulation; construction engineering; environmental engineering; geotechnical and geo-environmental engineering; structural engineering; transportation systems and materials; 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. These solutions include 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. Welcome to the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering.
Department Highlights:
- The Department is located in the new state-of-the-art Fitts-Woolard Hall on Centennial Campus.
- The Department maintains state-of-the-art computing facilities and laboratories for teaching and research.
- Many students gain work experience through cooperative education (Co-Op) and internships.
- There are more than 25 student organizations and honor societies affiliated with the Department.
- Through the generous support of industry and program alumni, many scholarships and awards are available to students, in addition to university, college, and need-based financial aid.
- The Department offers an annual faculty led summer study abroad program, in addition to a wide range of programs offered by the Study Abroad Office in which our students participate.
- We have numerous opportunities for students to become involved in research with faculty and we offer an undergraduate research thesis option.
- Selected students may be admitted to the Accelerated Bachelors/Masters (ABM) program.
