Civil Engineering

The Civil and Environmental Engineering curriculum was developed to provide a broad coverage of courses in the major sub-disciplines within civil engineering. A broad background provides the foundation for working in a wide variety of fields, including project management; we also include coursework in all of the topics covered by the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. The yearlong Senior Design Capstone sequence gives you a real-world experience and prepares you for success in the workforce. The vision is to produce graduates that are well rounded both technically and on a personal level.

Senior Design allows you to implement your classroom knowledge in a large-scale project. You’ll be working collaboratively with your peers over the course of your senior year in an interdisciplinary setting, bringing together mechanical, electrical and civil systems. Past projects have included design and construction of pedestrian bridges in Guatemala and Honduras as well as competition in the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Student Steel Bridge Competition and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Student Concrete Canoe Competition.

Internships, CO-OP and engineering missions are encouraged—wherever you want to go, we’ll help you get there. You’ll have multiple opportunities to connect with local and national companies. Students can also get valuable experience through vocational trips that allow students to partner with working professionals to solve problems in developing countries.
