Undergraduate Program Overview
Civil and environmental engineers plan, design, and construct our nation's physical infrastructure and take a leadership role in the responsible development and protection of our natural resources. Accordingly, the field of civil and environmental engineering encompasses several distinct disciplinary themes, including construction engineering, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, and water resources engineering, among others.
Civil and environmental engineers always have been at the forefront of such activities as designing and constructing bridges, buildings, water and wastewater treatment facilities, harbors, airports, and other public works. They also have taken a leadership role in eliminating the hazardous and solid wastes of society, responsibly developing surface and groundwater resources for beneficial use, managing environmental quality and minimizing the effects of pollutants, mitigating earthquake damage in large structures, and using artificial intelligence to improve the operation of transportation systems.
