The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, provided by the College of Engineering, equips students for careers in designing, constructing, and maintaining the built environment. Civil engineers plan and build structures like bridges, buildings, canals, dams, roads, tunnels, and water treatment facilities to meet societal infrastructure demands. They develop structural plans and infrastructure systems that enhance daily life by enabling access to clean water, safe public spaces, and efficient travel. Career opportunities for civil engineers span various fields, including construction, environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation, and water-resource engineering. Students must master fundamental principles of structural design, construction methods, transportation, and geotechnical engineering. Temple's Civil Engineering undergraduate program offers a strong engineering base, opportunities to specialize in areas of interest, and a course focused on career development in the engineering field.
