Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering

Youngstown State University’s Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) in Civil Engineering program provides students with the expertise required for planning, designing, and supervising infrastructure projects, including buildings, bridges, highways, levees, dams, and water treatment facilities. The ABET-accredited curriculum is structured to be completed in four years, offering a strong foundation in mathematics and science to support core engineering coursework.Students engage in faculty-led lectures alongside hands-on experiences such as co-ops, internships, undergraduate research, laboratory activities, and national competitions like the concrete canoe and steel bridge challenges. This combination of academic and practical training ensures graduates are well-prepared to enter careers across the five civil engineering sub-disciplines: structural, transportation, geotechnical, water resources, and environmental engineering.The faculty, holding advanced degrees and professional engineering licensure, remain actively involved in their respective fields through continuing education. The program emphasizes leadership development and industry readiness, equipping graduates to take on challenging engineering roles that contribute to community growth and infrastructure development.
