Civil Engineering includes all aspects of the planning, design, evaluation, construction, and maintenance of the infrastructure of modern life. This includes buildings, bridges, highways and airports, water and waste treatment facilities, dams and flood control, off-shore structures, rocket launch pads, space stations, communication towers and many other engineering works.

The curriculum is designed to prepare students to enter this broad field with a strong understanding of green and sustainable practices.

From the large sport stadiums to the Freedom Tower in New York City, all of the world's man-made wonders were designed by Civil and Environmental Engineers. Civil engineers are problem-solvers and design and build structures, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure.

Environmental engineers help make the world a cleaner and better place by pioneering technologies for water and waste water treatment plants, hazardous waste site cleanup, pollution control, and much more. Civil and Environmental Engineers are therefore responsible for designing all aspects of the infrastructure that makes your life comfortable.
