Civil Engineering concerns the study of the conception, design, construction, and maintenance of large public and private projects. Civil engineers plan, design, and supervise the building of bridges, highways, railways, tunnels, airports, dams, water treatment and distribution systems, buildings, and many other types of structures. Environmental considerations, such as water supply, pollution control, and preservation of soil quality, are also important.

The Engineer’s Degree in Civil Engineering (E.D.C.E) Program focuses on five of the core competency areas of civil engineering; environmental, geotechnical, structural, and water resources engineering, building construction. This program employs a team-based interdisciplinary learning philosophy. This approach provides students with the critical thinking skills required for effective and innovative engineering practice. Students will be prepared to combine social awareness and an interest in humanity with the technical expertise of the engineering profession as they plan, design, and construct a built environment. E.D.C.E students complete core courses common to all engineering majors as well as specialized courses in civil engineering.
