Civil & Environmental Engineering
Civil engineers create solutions for some of
society's biggest challenges. A broad and dynamic field, civil engineering
includes the sub-disciplines of environmental, geotechnical, structural,
transportation and water resources engineering as well as surveying. Because
the field of civil engineering is inextricably linked to population growth, it
is an excellent career choice for the future.
In addition, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has estimated that
there are over 2.2 trillion dollars of much needed infrastructure
projects within the
United Sates alone.
Grounded in the Jesuit-Catholic tradition, our program
has an outstanding faculty that is dedicated to undergraduate education. Our
students study abroad, serve as leaders in vibrant student organizations, and thrive on nationally recognized design teams through our Engineering
Project Center. Graduates of our program often work for
government agencies or in the private sector, and they usually pursue the path
to professional
licensure. Many of our graduates also seek advanced degrees at top
graduate and professional schools across the nation.
We hope you will explore the many facets of our civil engineering program through these web pages. If you have questions or would like
to arrange a campus visit, please contact Dr. Phillip Thompson, P.E.
