Bachelor of Science with a Major in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering Option

Graduates with the degree of bachelor of science in civil engineering, environmental engineering option, can identify, formulate, and solve problems involving design, experimentation, and analysis of a wide variety of civil engineering applications. The program of study prepares students to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global economic, environmental, and social context. The well-structured curriculum enables students to design systems, components, or processes to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.
