Civil Engineering is a multi-disciplinary engineering profession. The Department of Civil Engineering at ASU has a total faculty strength of 19 with specialty areas of environmental, geotechnical, hydraulics and water resources, structures and materials, and transportation engineering.
Structural engineering forms an important component of the civil engineering profession.
The Structures Program at Arizona State University encompasses a multitude of areas such as structural analysis and design, steel and concrete structures, timber and masonry structures, matrix and computer methods, buildings, bridges and dams, power plant design, wind analysis and design, finite element method, earthquake analysis and design, stability of structures, nonlinear structural analysis, structural failure, prestressed concrete structures, lifeline analysis and design, applied optimal design, probabilistic methods, structural dynamics, composite materials, stress analysis, cement based materials, experimental methods etc. Recent graduates have been employed in a variety of different organizations and companies both in the private and the public sector. As can be seen by the list, the employment and career opportunities span the spectrum and are not limited to certain specialty government agencies or private sectors, or to certain geographical regions.
