Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering
Overview
The civil and environmental engineers develop a full range of skills in design, communication, management, and teamwork. The students are broadly trained and able to deal with the latest technologies. Civil Engineering is a profession that utilizes our nation's resources to improve the quality of life for all, while at the same time preserving and protecting the natural environment. Nearly every aspect of everyday life involves the use of facilities and infrastructure that are designed and maintained by civil and environmental engineers. Examples are water facilities and wastewater disposal plants in cities and towns, hydraulic structures and electric energy generation, transportation systems such as highways, railroads and airports, buildings and bridges of all kinds, community planning, and solid and hazardous waste disposal. The department is made up of outstanding undergraduate and graduate students, a dedicated faculty and staff, and other resources. The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers courses of study options both in Civil and Environmental Engineering leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Civil Engineering, Master of Science (M.S.) in Civil Engineering, M.S. in Environmental Engineering, and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Civil Engineering. Undergraduate students can receive a general civil engineering education or become fairly specialized in one of several areas including environmental engineering, hydrology and water resouces, geotechnical engineering, pavements, structures, or transportation. We also have a formal concentration in environmental engineering. In our graduate program, there are separate degrees offered in civil and environmental engineering and a joint MS program in urban studies. Our graduate and research emphasis areas are in environmental engineering, structural engineering, mechanics and materials, transportation infrastructure systems, hydrology and water resources, and geoengineering. However, both the undergraduate and graduate programs are flexible so that individual student needs/desires can be accommodated. Areas of Study

Who are Agricultural Engineers?Agricultural engineers must have a wealth of knowledge and skills to function effectively in the diverse agricultural and agribusiness industries. The agricultural engineer obtains training in design and engineering problem solving based on an understanding of engineering sciences including mathematics, physics and biology. They must also have skills in computers, communication, teamwork and instrumentation. The feature distinguishing agricultural engineers from other engineers is their interest and commitment to solving agricultural problems.
