土木工程学士学位-环境工程

土木工程学士学位（BSCE）为学生提供了在结构，岩土，交通，环境，水资源和建筑工程领域的职业准备。土木工程师将帮助解决21世纪的严峻挑战，例如重建我国的基础设施，将可持续的绿色建筑技术纳入其设计中，并帮助向将近9亿人口提供安全的用水世界上大约八分之一的人现在缺乏这种访问权限。土木工程计划促进基于项目的学习。当学生在头两年学习科学，数学和工程学的基础知识时，他们的课程包括动手实践项目，他们在实际的应用程序中使用这些基础知识。例如，大二学生在工程设计课程中与我们的工程师无国界学生分会合作，为印度和肯尼亚的村庄
The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (B.S.C.E.) degree prepares students for careers in structural, geotechnical, transportation, environmental, water resources, and construction engineering. Civil engineers will help to solve the critical challenges of the 21st century, such as the rebuilding of our country's infrastructure, incorporating sustainable, green building technologies into their designs, and helping to provide access to safe water to the almost 900 million people in the world (approximately one in eight people) who now lack that access. The Civil Engineering program promotes project-based learning. As students learn the fundamentals of science, math, and engineering in their first two years, their courses include hands-on projects in which they use those fundamentals in real-world applications. For example, students in their sophomore engineering design course have worked with our Engineers Without Borders student chapter to develop and implement sustainable water supply solutions for villages in India and Kenya. Students in their surveying course have assisted the University in meeting a requirement of an Army Corps of Engineers permit each year by mapping out important features of a University conservation area. In their final two years, students take courses in the core areas of civil engineering: structural, geotechnical, transportation, water resources, environmental, and construction engineering. The curriculum continues to emphasize project-based learning, such as performing a traffic impact study for a magnet school in the city of Hartford or growing algae as a potential source of biofuel. The civil engineering curriculum culminates with a senior capstone design project. Students select a project in their area of interest and work as part of a design team mentored by a practicing engineer. The experience gained by our students working as junior engineers for their mentors has been extremely successful in helping our graduates make the transition from college to their professional careers.
