Program Description

Civil engineering majors in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering have three choices within the accredited BSE program:

  • civil engineering
  • civil engineering with environmental engineering concentration
  • civil engineering with sustainable engineering concentration

The first choice allows students to choose among design and technical elective courses in their senior year. The other choices specify design and technical courses to students with minimal choices. Regardless of choice, the Bachelor of Science Education in civil engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org/.

Civil engineering involves the analysis, planning, design, construction, maintenance and application of sustainable practices in all areas of urban infrastructure for government, commerce, industry and the public domain. These include:

  • tunnels and subway systems
  • water purification facilities

Civil engineers are concerned with the impact their projects have on the public and the environment; they coordinate the needs of society with technical and economic feasibility.

The curriculum exposes students to the following areas of civil engineering, with a strong emphasis on sustainability:

  • construction engineering
  • environmental engineering
  • geotechnical engineering
  • hydrosystems engineering
  • structures
  • transportation
