Undergraduate Catalog 2017-2018
Civil Engineering (BCE)
Description
Civil Engineering is the most diverse engineering field. Depending on who you work for you may work on: airports, bridges, buildings, canals, dams, environmental cleanup, excavations, harbors, highways, industrial facilities, landfills, construction or demolition, piers, pipelines, reservoirs, roads, site planning, tunnels, Navy Seabees, and water and wastewater treatment plants.
Civil Engineers focus on making global sustainable systems. Our student projects make a difference in the world, such as work on environmental clean-up projects, plan for rapid transit, or help with urban renewal.
Since many engineering problems and solutions have roots in human behavior, you will learn communication skills, team working, ethics and decision making. Additionally, since engineering problems need practical solutions, our students work on co-operative job placements as interns in engineering. The experience is valuable for your resume when seeking full-time employment.
As a part of the curriculum, students are exposed to all areas of Civil and Environmental Engineering, including structures, transportation, geotechnical, hydrology and the environment.
The mission of the Program is to provide a broad-based education and design experience that enables students to address complex and multi-faceted Civil Engineering problems. The Program also seeks to provide students the fundamental tools to enable them to evolve in the profession in response to changing technology and societal needs and expectations.
