Job Description

The mission of the undergraduate program in Civil Engineering is to provide students with the principles of engineering and the methodologies necessary for civil engineering practice. This pre-professional program balances the fundamentals common to many specialties in civil engineering and includes seven focus areas: structures, construction, environmental, energy/climate, sustainable water, urban systems, sensors/analytics.  Students in the major learn to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and civil engineering to conduct experiments, design structures and systems to creatively solve engineering problems, and communicate their ideas effectively.  The major prepares students for careers in consulting, industry and government, as well as for graduate studies in engineering.
