Structures that create a powerful urban presence. Tunnels and bridges connecting nations and cultures. Systems that deliver clean water to cities and remove wastewater. Highways. Airports. Public areas. These form the foundation of society, and civil engineers transform ambitious concepts into tangible achievements. While you can pursue a general civil engineering degree, you may also focus on specialties like environmental and water resources, structural engineering, construction management, transportation, and urban engineering—all sectors expected to see sustained growth over the next ten years. As a civil engineering student, you'll gain practical experience with industry tools and materials in our seven laboratories: structures, environmental, asphalt, concrete, hydraulics, computer modeling, and soil mechanics. By specializing in structural engineering and taking courses in computerized structural analysis and design, you can uncover solutions to structural failures and build enduring structures like buildings, bridges, and dams that withstand the ages.
