At the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), we offer a comprehensive bachelor of engineering (BE) program with a major in civil engineering (CE).
Join us to harness your potential and engineer a sustainable and dynamic future.
Civil engineering in a nutshell
Civil engineering is an integral part of our daily lives, deeply woven into the very fabric of our infrastructure, environment, and society. Civil engineers confront complex challenges as the profession is in continuous change. From building taller, more robust, and cost-effective structures to designing systems to combat the threats of climate change, civil engineers are always ready to provide a better quality of life. They are problem solvers with expertise accumulated over time by mitigating natural hazards and environmental concerns. They are responsible citizens and pioneers in developing sustainable solutions for an equitable society.
Program description
The BE program in civil engineering is composed of
143 credit hours. The curriculum incorporates essential mathematics, science, engineering, and general education components to prepare students for a successful career.
