Civil engineers are responsible for designing the essential frameworks of contemporary society. The Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts a 7% increase in civil engineering jobs from 2021 to 2031. Our researchers lead the way in civil engineering advancements, exploring innovations in bridge design and assessment, the application of composite materials in concrete and steel, field research and simulation of coastal dynamics, smart transportation systems, disaster science, and sustainable practices.
Our curriculum equips students to become the civil engineers of the future with a mandatory set of courses in mathematics, science, and engineering. Beginning in the spring of their junior year, students select technical electives in specialized fields such as structural, geotechnical, environmental, water resources, transportation, railroad, and ocean and coastal engineering. Additionally, minors are available in environmental engineering, sustainable infrastructure, and environmental sustainability.
Our dynamic research initiatives and faculty engagement with professional organizations guarantee that the 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 independent study credit. Students can also opt to join our co-op program, acquiring hands-on industry experience while staying on track to graduate in four years.
