Environmental and Water Resources Engineering
Overview
Students may identify broad concentrations in either General Civil Engineering or Environmental Engineering. In environmental engineering, electives may be selected to focus on water quality and treatment, bioremediation, solid and hazardous wastes, air quality, and air pollution control. Students may also choose electives that provide additional exposure to selected areas of civil engineering, such as transportation, structural, geotechnical, and construction engineering.
Mission
Graduates who pursue a career in Civil Engineering will be successfully engaged in professional engineering practice or graduate study in the analysis, design, construction, and operation of public and private infrastructure systems.
