Civil engineering stands as a distinguished profession that has played a vital role in the United States' growth since its founding. This is particularly evident in Alaska, where civil engineers have designed and constructed almost all of the state's infrastructure, such as the Alaska pipeline, the Yukon River bridge, and its ports, harbors, and airports. Numerous UAF civil engineering alumni have contributed to these endeavors. Pursue a civil engineering degree from an established program accredited by ABET's Engineering Accreditation Commission. UAF's global research reputation and focus on experiential learning guarantee you'll acquire hands-on experience inside and outside the classroom via research, internships, and a mandatory field practicum. Collaborate directly with esteemed faculty and local businesses to design and execute actual projects. Develop specialized skills in design and construction for arctic environments. Address the distinctive challenges facing Alaska and the broader Arctic, including the impacts of climate change.
