Welcome To Department of Civil Engineering
Through our leadership in engineering education, research, and design, a future emerges where society’s assets (cities, resources, and natural environment) are developed and protected to ensure sustainable prosperity and quality of life. The Department of Civil Engineering invests in this future by cultivating an academic environment that fosters creative design, diversity of background and thought, multi-disciplinary collaboration, and game-changing engineering discovery. Our faculty and graduates continue to be internationally recognized for their ground-breaking contributions to engineering scholarship, exceptional leadership, strong commitment to creative problem-solving, and professional integrity.
We achieve this mission through:
* Education that advances the intellectual development of our students using modern engineering curricula focused on quantitative and predictive methods, academic and professional mentoring, and service-based learning;
* Research that leads to new theories and techniques and transforms our ability to design, construct, and manage society’s infrastructure, control material behavior, and sustain natural and engineering systems around the world;
* Cultivation of a diverse community of scholars, who, through motivation to serve society, are prepared to lead management and decision-making both insider and outside of the Civil Engineering professions.
