Civil and 环境 engineering is a people-serving profession and as such is vital to the world’s 经济, 政治, 社会福利. The many areas to which civil engineers make substantial contributions include bridges, 水坝和堤坝, 港口, 水路及灌溉设施, 建筑, 机场, 高速公路, 管道, 铁路, 电线, 供水系统, 废物处理设施. Civil engineers engage in a wide range of activities such as research, 设计, 发展, 管理, and the control of engineering systems and their 组件s. With today’s fast-paced technological changes, civil engineering provides unique and unlimited career opportunities that can only be met by professionally educated people.
The civil engineering program is 设计ed with a broad base to prepare men and women for careers in various phases of civil engineering and to enable them to perform other managerial and technical functions that require scientific and engineering backgrounds. The curriculum embraces a sound core of humanities and 社会 studies courses in addition to those in physics, 化学和数学, which form the substructure of engineering 科学s. 研究领域包括地质技术, 结构, 水资源, 环境, 运输, 建筑工程. Electives are available to fit the individual interest of the civil engineering student.
Because of the wide scope of activities in which the civil engineer is engaged, 以及广泛的学生兴趣, civil engineering graduates may choose either to enter the profession immediately after receiving their bachelor’s degree or go directly to graduate school. No matter what the student chooses, the curriculum provides a firm foundation for today’s world.
The bachelor's program in civil engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org
