Civil & Environmental Engineering: building skills to build a better world.
Civil and environmental engineering is the engineering of constructed facilities:
- buildings, bridges, tunnels, and dams
- harbors and airports
- waterways, railways, and highways
- water power, irrigation, drainage, and water supply
- wastewater and hazardous waste disposal
- environmental health systems
Civil engineers are the professionals who plan, design, direct the construction, and oversee the maintenance of these facilities.
Academic programs
