The undergraduate program in Civil Engineering aims to provide students with the principles of engineering and the methodologies necessary for civil engineering practice. This pre-professional program balances the fundamentals common to many specialties in civil engineering. It includes seven focus areas: structures, construction, environmental, energy/climate, sustainable water, urban systems, and sensors/analytics. Students in the major learn to apply mathematics, science, and civil engineering knowledge to conduct experiments, design structures and systems to creatively solve engineering problems, and communicate their ideas effectively. The major prepares students for consulting, industry, and government careers and graduate studies in engineering.
