Civil Engineering is the practice of improving and maintaining the built environment to enhance the quality of life for present and future generations.

Civil engineers primarily plan, design, construct, operate, and maintain physical infrastructure, including water and waste management facilities, transportation and communications infrastructure, and structures and public buildings.

This all-important infrastructure supports people’s basic needs, while enabling and driving economic development.

In the first two years of study, you will focus on developing competencies in mathematics, science, computing, communication, and engineering design/problem solving.

In third and fourth years, you will take courses in Geotechnical Engineering, Hydrology, Hydraulics, Infrastructure Planning and Management, Structural Engineering, and Construction Materials.
