CEE Vision Statement

Enhancing the built and natural environment through sustainable engineering.

We improve quality of life while protecting and enhancing the environment for current and future generations. We do this through education and research in sustainable development of civil infrastructure, preservation, restoration, and enhancement of air and water quality, and prudent stewardship of natural resources. We produce leaders and develop knowledge and technology for civil and environmental engineering purposes.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Society faces many challenges on how to create, modernize and maintain infrastructure to ensure it is functional and resilient, yet flexible to meet changing needs. Meeting these challenges is the very definition of sustainable infrastructure engineering.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) is a broad-based program that offers ABET-accredited undergraduate degrees in general civil engineering or civil engineering with an emphasis in either environmental engineering or construction engineering. Our graduate programs include studies in structures, geotechniques, water resources, transportation materials and pavements, transportation systems, environmental engineering for water and air quality, and construction engineering.
