Study includes fundamental instruction in math, physics and chemistry as applied to civil engineering. Other courses include fluid mechanics, hydrology, soils, transportation, and computers.

The understanding of design, mechanics, mathematics, computer and laboratory research, and a wide variety of elements in natural and man-made environments gained from a major in Civil Engineering provides a strong career foundation. Graduates in Civil Engineering might work in the structural, geotechnical, transportation, environmental, or general civil engineering fields. This major is also excellent preparation for graduate studies in engineering.
