Civil engineering bears a proud past and ever-expanding prospects for the future.
Contemporary engineering wonders like the Golden Gate Bridge, Hoover Dam, and the Empire State Building draw mollions of sightseers each year. And civil engineers are imagining and building the wonders of tomorrow. The faculty of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, most of whom hold the highest degree in the field, are actively engaged in research and publication. Our senior faculty are involved at all levels of instruction from first-year to graduate, in laboratories that are among the best in the state.
