CIVIL ENGINEERING
Civil engineering is concerned with the planning, design, and construction phases of an
engineering project, including energy, environmental, and economic considerations. It
involves dealing with people and cities, producing clean air and water, providing for the
disposal of wastes, and developing efficient transportation, housing, and water systems.
The undergraduate program includes work in field measurements, construction materials
and procedures, structural analysis and design, soil behavior, transportation engineering,
water supply, and pollution control. The department offers a set of elective courses
through which the student can specialize in such areas as urban planning and urban
systems, construction engineering, and surveying.
The civil engineering graduate is well prepared to enter the job market through federal
state, and municipal agencies, in many consulting firms in the metropolitan area and
throughout the country, or with the major industrial firms involved with the aspects of
planning design, or environmental control. Students may also enter the field of research
and development.
