Our comprehensive major offerings let you customize your education to align with professional ambitions and personal interests.
Civil engineering professionals address societal needs by specializing in the development, design, construction, and upkeep of essential infrastructure. They possess deep knowledge of natural forces like water and wind dynamics, along with structural load resistance principles. Their expertise spans diverse projects including buildings, transportation networks, water systems, and coastal defenses. These engineers combine theoretical understanding with practical solutions to create functional, cost-effective structures that meet community requirements while considering aesthetic values. With strong mathematical and physics foundations, they tackle both environmental and technological obstacles. Civil engineers offer specialized financial and technical guidance, managing projects from initial concepts to final execution. Customize your civil engineering focus by selecting majors or minors that align with your professional objectives. Available options include: Majors: General civil engineering, Environmental engineering, Fire safety engineering, Geotechnical engineering, Mining engineering, Structural engineering, Transport engineering, Water and marine engineering. Minors: Computing, Data science, Design.
