BSc in Civil Engineering in Hamden United States | Quinnipiac University

As a civil engineer, you could eventually supervise the excavation of tunnels for urban subway networks, direct the development of multi-million dollar airports and convention centers, or provide guidance to government bodies on remediating polluted sites. To assist you in navigating this varied profession, our curriculum offers practical experience across civil engineering's five primary disciplines: structural, environmental, geotechnical, water resources, and construction management.

Practical experience involves active learning through design-focused courses and collaborative projects that integrate current software and industry partners. These activities occur both on-site and in advanced facilities that replicate real-world conditions, such as a fluids laboratory with a functioning wind tunnel, an environmental workshop outfitted for water testing, and a fabrication lab where you can create physical models and prototypes of your designs.

Our program is intentionally designed to give students a professional advantage. They secure internships and launch careers with esteemed firms like AECOM, Langan, and Gilbane Development Company, and join professional organizations such as ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers). Furthermore, our hands-on coursework is tailored to ready them for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, which they take in their final year. As the initial NCEES examination, the FE exam marks the crucial first stage toward obtaining professional engineering (PE) licensure in civil engineering.
