- 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
