在这里学什么？

Civil engineers use their knowledge of science and engineering to design and maintain much of our world's infrastructure. They also apply their expertise to improve our quality of life, whether it's by designing safer buildings, reducing our carbon footprint or just shortening your commute. Their work helps solve many of our planet's most serious problems, including decaying roadways, clogged highways, polluted water and hazardous wastes.

Civil engineers generally specialize in a particular area. Our department offers five areas of specialization for students:

• Earthquake and structural engineering involves the analysis and design of structures that support or resist loads, such as bridges or buildings.
• Environmental engineering uses science and engineering principles to improve the environment, with a special focus on air, water and land resources.
• Geotechnical engineering is the branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineering behavior of earth materials such as soils, foundations and earth structures like tunnels, dams or levees.
• Pavements/materials engineering focuses on pavement design and materials as well as vehicle pavement interaction.
• Transportation engineering involves all aspects of planning, functional design, operation and facilities management for any mode of transportation.

Our program teaches students to make engineering and design decisions while considering a broad range of factors such as sustainability, aesthetic values, and environmental, economic, legal and technical limitations.

Graduates of the bachelor's degree in civil engineering are trained to:

• Apply their engineering knowledge and problem-solving skills in a professional environment
• Analyze and design civil infrastructure systems
• Work as members or leaders of multidisciplinary teams
• Continue their education through graduate studies or ongoing professional development hours
• Understand and communicate technical, social, environmental and ethical issues to society at large
• Be aware of contemporary issues and engage in life-long learning

Careers in civil engineering

A civil engineering degree can lead to a wide range of career paths. Civil engineers may find employment in supervisory and administrative positions, ranging from supervisor of a construction site to city engineer to an executive role.

A civil engineering degree prepares you to work in teams with other engineers and scientists in a range of settings, such as the following:

• Private industry
• Engineering consulting firms
• Federal, state, county and city governments
• Public utilities and educational institutions
