Civil engineers create the foundational systems that support contemporary civilization. The Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts an 8% increase in civil engineering jobs from 2021 to 2031. Our research teams lead the way in civil engineering advancements, exploring innovations in bridge architecture and assessment, composite materials in concrete and steel, coastal process modeling and field studies, smart transportation networks, disaster research, and sustainable practices.
Our curriculum equips students to become future civil engineers with a mandatory foundation in mathematics, science, and engineering principles. Beginning in the spring semester of their third year, students select specialized electives in structural, geotechnical, environmental, water resources, transportation, railroad, and ocean/coastal engineering. Additional minors are available in environmental engineering, sustainable infrastructure, and environmental sustainability.
Our dynamic research initiatives and faculty engagement with professional organizations guarantee that our undergraduate program remains up-to-date, academically rigorous, and incorporates experiential learning. Numerous opportunities exist for undergraduates to collaborate with faculty and graduate students as paid research assistants or for academic credit. Students can also opt for our cooperative education program, acquiring professional experience while completing their degree within four years.
