The mission of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department is to educate civil and environmental engineering students to become leaders in the solution of important societal problems of the twenty-first century. Technically rigorous and broad in scope, our programs focus on the interactions between the natural and built environments. CEE programs make extensive use of information technology for managing complex systems and for integrating the teaching, research, and design components of engineering education. Our program breadth includes linkages between engineering disciplines such as environmental, geotechnical, and chemical engineering, as well as interdisciplinary studies in areas such as architecture, geology, chemistry, and environmental policy.

The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department strategic goals, ordered by priority:

  1. To provide technically rigorous yet broad undergraduate programs in civil and environmental engineering and related fields.
    • BSCE ABET accredited program. Technical focus: environmental, geotechnical, structural, and water resources options.
    • BSEvE ABET accredited program Technical focus: water and waste-water, solid and hazardous waste, and environmental health engineering
    • Complementary non-ABET accredited programs (BSE/minors). Subject areas: architectural studies, environmental health.
       
  2. To provide technically rigorous yet broad graduate programs in specific areas of civil engineering and related fields
    • Professional MS Programs
    • Multidisciplinary MS Programs
    • Ph.D. Programs
    • Continuing education
       
  3. To undertake focused, student-centered research programs in selected areas of civil engineering and related fields.
    • Collaborative research
    • Individual research
