1 EAEE is recommended for students concentrating in environmental engineering and water resources.
equipped to perform a wide spectrum of
experimental research in cement-based
materials. The Donald M. Burmister Soil
Mechanics Laboratory is used in both
undergraduate and graduate instruction
for static and dynamic testing of soils and
foundations. The geotechnical centrifuge
located in the Carleton Laboratory is
used for geotechnical and geoenvironmental
research.
The Institute of Flight Structures
The Institute of Flight Structures was
established within the department
through a grant by the Daniel and Florence
Guggenheim Foundation. It provides a
base for graduate training in aerospace
and aeronautical related applications of
structural analysis and design.
Center for Infrastructure Studies
The Center was established in the
department to provide a professional
environment for faculty and students
from a variety of disciplines to join with
industry and government to develop and
apply the technological tools and knowledge
bases needed to deal with the
massive problems of the city, state, and
regional infrastructure. The Center is
active in major infrastructure projects
through a consortium of universities and
agencies.
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
The Department of Civil Engineering and
Engineering Mechanics offers undergraduate
programs in civil engineering
and engineering mechanics. Both are
intended to prepare students with firm
technical bases while nurturing decisionmaking
and leadership potential.
The civil engineering program is
designed to enable the student, upon
completion of the B.S. degree program,
to enter the profession—for example, in
industry, on a construction project, in a
consulting engineering office, through a
government agency—or to begin graduate
study, or both. The program is fully
accredited by the Engineering Accreditation
Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology
(ABET) and provides a broad traditional
civil engineering background that focuses
on basic theory and design. Technical
electives can be selected to obtain a
strong technical base in a particular field
