Tufts School of Engineering's civil and environmental
department challenges conventional definitions of what it
means to be an engineer in an increasingly global world. Our
combination of laboratory facilities, world-renowned faculty
members, and a highly collaborative environment results in
rigorous and cutting-edge programs.
A Tufts civil and engineering education gives our graduates
skills in mathematics through differential equations,
probability and statistics, calculus-based physics, and
general chemistry. Our environmental engineers also gain a
deeper understanding of earth and biological sciences as
related to their chosen fields of interest. Our graduates
conduct laboratory experiments, critically analyze and
interpret data, and create integrated and holistic designs.
They also gain a practical understanding of civil and
environmental engineering, gaining knowledge about bidding
versus quality-based selection processes; how the design
professionals and the construction professions interact to
construct a project; the importance of professional
licensure and continuing education; as well as the roles and
responsibilities of public institutions and private
organizations pertaining to environmental engineering.
Our undergraduate degrees in civil (BSCE) and environmental
engineering (BSEVE) received accreditation from the
Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET,
http://www.abet.org,
beginning in 1936 and 1997, respectively.
Of the thirty-eight course credits required for the professional degrees
accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, a minimum
of 9.5 course credits must be completed in college level math and basic
science subjects appropriate to the discipline and a minimum of 14.5 course
credits must be completed in engineering topics, consistent with ABET general
and program criteria. |
