Civil Engineering, Bachelor

Civil engineering, the oldest and broadest engineering discipline, encompasses projects that enhance societal infrastructure and the environment. Civil engineers apply scientific principles and practical expertise to plan, design, and construct highways, railroads, airports, bridges, dams, pollution control systems, water purification networks, and urban transport systems. They consider social, physical, and environmental factors in all project phases, while environmental engineering—a growing specialization rooted in civil engineering—focuses on environmental protection.The undergraduate program provides students with theoretical foundations, practical application of engineering principles, and a professional mindset for public service. It leads to entry-level positions or advanced studies in areas like environmental, geotechnical, structural, or transportation engineering, and business administration. The curriculum integrates courses on steel and concrete structures, pollution control, water resources, foundations, and transportation, culminating in senior design courses that simulate real-world processes. Faculty are licensed engineers, and graduates succeed in professional practice, research, and management.
