• Civil engineers design, construct, supervise, operate and maintain large construction projects and systems, including roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges and systems for water supply and sewage treatment.
  • Because these projects are often of a magnitude that affects large segments of the population, the responsibility of the civil engineer extends beyond mere physical facilities. Villanova faculty prepare students to play a vital role in improving quality of life while protecting the environment.
  • In the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, basic and advanced courses are offered in:

    • Environmental Engineering
    • Geotechnical Engineering
    • Structural Engineering
    • Transportation Engineering
    • Water Resources Engineering
