Undergraduate Programs

The Civil, Environmental and Ocean Engineering Department promotes the use of engineering approaches to create solutions for societal needs concerning the built and natural environment by: providing a high quality, broad-based undergraduate education that emphasizes both fundamental knowledge and design experiences for its students; developing new knowledge through cutting-edge and applied research; providing services and leadership to the public and the profession; integrating research knowledge and professional service experience into innovative undergraduate and graduate instruction; and by fostering in our students a culture of lifelong personal and professional growth.

Undergraduate Civil Engineering Program

Civil engineering is concerned with constructed facilities, including structures, foundations, environmental and transportation systems, waterways, ports, irrigation, drainage, and water supply and treatment. The civil engineers’ vital role is to plan, design and supervise the construction of these facilities. Within the sequence of Civil Engineering courses the students have the flexibility to concentrate in Structures, Geotechnical, Water Resources, or Construction Management.

Undergraduate Environmental Engineering Program

Environmental engineering has traditionally been taught as a branch of civil engineering concerned with the supply of safe drinking water and the sanitary disposal of municipal wastes. The field has expanded in recent years to include many new areas, such as the treatment of industrial and hazardous wastes, the prediction of the fate and transport of pollutants in the environmental, and the design of systems for remediation of sites contaminated with hazardous wastes. This has placed new demands on engineers to understand the fundamental environmental transformation processes that describe natural and engineered systems.

Undergraduate Naval Engineering Program

The program is offered as a concentration under the Engineering program and leverages existing courses in ocean engineering as well as the Center for Maritime Systems's experimental and modeling facilities.
