Students receive a fundamental background in math and science to prepare for core courses in civil engineering. Our students not only learn from faculty lectures, but also gain real-world experience through co-opsinternships, undergraduate research and laboratory activities. Civil engineers make the world better. With that philosophy in mind, we educate our students to undertake challenging civil engineering jobs and leadership roles in building our community and infrastructure. At the time of graduation, our students are well-prepared to enter the workforce in all five sub-disciplines of civil engineering including structural, transportation, geotechnical, water resources, and environmental. Faculty members have the highest degree in their respective sub-discipline and the professional engineering licensure that requires them to remain active in the profession through continuing education.
