Civil engineers create the essential infrastructure that enables society to operate: highways, bridges spanning bays, buildings resistant to earthquakes, systems for treating drinking water, and networks of reservoirs. They are increasingly tasked with protecting environmental health by overseeing and enhancing air, land, and water quality through treatment solutions for air, water, and waste. To tackle challenges linked to climate change, civil engineers apply sustainable development principles, which involve weighing the societal impacts of their projects. As a civil engineering student, you will start with a comprehensive set of foundational courses in science and math. At the advanced level, you will enroll in specialized courses covering areas like structural analysis and design, water resources management, and transportation systems design.
