Department of Civil Engineering and Construction
The departmental goals are to instill in students state-of-the-art knowledge for their professional careers and life-long development skills needed to enter the fields of civil engineering, construction, and construction engineering, while meeting all the requirements to earn a Bachelor of Science degree. The faculty engage in the best practices of teaching, scholarship, and service to ensure that graduates serve as ethical and highly qualified leaders of civil engineering, construction and construction engineering. Students will find open doors to a dedicated and diverse faculty who are well-educated and proficient in the practical aspects of “real world” civil engineering, construction engineering, and construction.
The Civil Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.
