Civil Engineering graduate students perform experiments spanning an extraordinary spectrum of scales, employing electrokinetics, nanomaterials, sensor networks, communication systems, and cutting-edge physics and mechanics principles. They operate among the planet's most sophisticated structural testing and simulation laboratories, with Lehigh boasting North America's largest such facilities. These resources support groundbreaking studies in seismic engineering, multi-hazard resilience, composite materials, structural durability, intelligent infrastructure systems, marine construction, and long-term infrastructure sustainability. Graduates hold faculty positions at over 60 global institutions while thriving in corporate and governmental roles. Professors provide international consultancy on seismic-proof designs and hydrological management solutions. Students regularly present at global symposiums and perform live demonstrations of innovative engineering solutions in real-world settings.
