Program Details

The mission of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is to educate a diverse student body to be employed in the engineering profession, to encourage research and scholarship among our faculty and students and to promote service to the engineering profession and society. Our program objectives are reflected in the achievements of our recent alumni in these areas:  

  • Engineering Practice: Alumni will successfully engage in the practice of environmental engineering within industry, government, and private practice, applying engineering analysis and design toward sustainable solutions across a wide array of technical specialties, including water and wastewater treatment system design, environmental microbiology, site remediation engineering, sustainability planning, environmental policy, and environmental systems analysis.
  • Professional Growth: Alumni will advance their skills through professional growth and development activities such as graduate study in engineering, research and development, professional registration, and continuing education; some graduates will transition into other professional fields such as business and law through further education.
  • Service: Alumni will perform service to society and the engineering profession through membership and participation in professional societies,  including the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists, the American Society of Civil Engineers, and allied organizations, as well as government, educational institutions, civic organizations, charitable giving, and other humanitarian endeavors.

What You Will Learn:

By the time they graduate from the environmental engineering program, our students should have acquired the following:

  • An ability to identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics
  • An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors
  • An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
  • An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts
  • An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks and meet objectives
  • An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
  • An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
