The Faculty

Overview

Civil Engineering is the broadest of the engineering disciplines, extending across many technical specialties, specialties that are not independent but interact with each other. Civil engineers plan, design, and supervise the construction of facilities that vary widely in nature, size and scope: space satellites and launching facilities, offshore structures, bridges, buildings, tunnels, highways, transit systems, dams, airports, irrigation projects, treatment and distribution facilities for water and collection and treatment facilities for wastewater.

Accreditation

The department offers B.S. and M.S. degrees in Civil Engineering. The B.S. degree is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
