The Department of Civil Engineering provides a comprehensive undergraduate program at the University of Nebraska's Lincoln and Omaha campuses, with nearly identical curriculum requirements at both locations. The program aims to equip students for immediate entry into the civil engineering profession or for advanced graduate studies. As a professional field, civil engineering is deeply connected to the overall human environment. In all professional activities, civil engineers must account for ecological impacts alongside the social, economic, and political requirements of communities. They design systems to regulate and manage water resources, delivering electric power, agricultural irrigation, flood protection, recreational opportunities, water supply, and wastewater treatment solutions for urban and industrial demands.
