Civil and Environmental Engineering

专业详情

Princeton’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) offers a program of study in Civil Engineering accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org, with sub-plan options in structural engineering, environmental engineering, geological engineering, and architecture & engineering (structures focus). 

CEE also offers subplan options in Engineering & the Liberal Arts and Architecture & Engineering (architecture focus) that do not hold ABET accreditation. These tracks are for students who wish to obtain an engineering background as a foundation for a wide range of careers, such as medicine, law, public policy, visual arts, or engineering studies in materials, ethics, or history.

The CEE curriculum is sufficiently flexible to provide opportunities for students to pursue certificate programs across the University, and to do study-abroad in the junior year.

The Department firmly believes that independent research is an integral component of an engineer’s education. Consequently, all seniors are required to complete a year-long thesis project, write a thesis and present the results of their work throughout the year. Sophomores and juniors are also encouraged to participate in independent research and should take the initiative to discuss their interests with departmental faculty members.
