Overview

Our undergraduate graduate programs integrate basic theory with a real-world perspective. Faculty are required to have substantial non-academic professional experience and professional licensure as the standard.

The programs are committed to providing a curriculum that satisfies the technical demands of a modern engineer, augmented by well-defined liberal art courses to help our students develop as well-rounded professionals. The civil and environmental engineering programs are designed to develop engineers with a strong background in mathematics and science, and an understanding of the nature of their special role in society.

In addition to your classroom studies, labs provide opportunities for hands-on experience.  Students will also have the opportunity to participate in extra-curricular activities and gain valuable work experience while building your connections with industry and professional organizations.

Mission
