At the undergraduate level, we offer ABET-accredited bachelor of science degrees in civil engineering and construction engineering, as well as a minor in nuclear engineering. At the graduate level, we offer M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in civil engineering and nuclear engineering. Our students are trained in engineering fundamentals they’ll need to be successful at the interface of built and natural environments; our students are also exposed to the practical implementation of these fundamentals in infrastructure systems, such as buildings, bridges, transportation networks, aviation systems, wastewater systems, and nuclear systems. Modern technologies and disciplines, such as artificial intelligence, data science, climate science, and geographic information systems (GIS), are integrated into our degree programs. Our students are prepared to succeed in their future careers and make an impact on society.

Our faculty are leaders in their respective fields, conducting cutting-edge research that addresses critical societal issues such as resilient and sustainable infrastructure systems under future climates, carbon sequestration to mitigate climate change, transportation electrification, intelligent transportation systems, water and environment, and nuclear energy. In the past three years, our total research expenditure (including affiliates from external units and institutes) averaged about $27 million annually. Our externally funded research provides students with unparalleled opportunities to engage in hands-on learning, develop technical skills, and find innovative solutions that have real-world impact.

There is no better time than now to enroll in one of our degree programs. I invite you to explore our web pages to learn more about our research, our faculty and staff, our curriculum, and the latest news and events in the department. Connect with us further via social media, and be sure to contact us with any questions.
