土木工程学士学位

土木与环境工程系为与能源基础设施，环境/水资源工程，岩土工程，土地开发工程，结构和运输相关的技术领域的各个级别的学生提供出色的教育和研究经验。土木工程师面临的一些挑战包括：1）对基础系统，建筑物，桥梁，大坝和其他建筑物的分析，设计，建造和监控，2）用于城市，工业和土地开垦的水资源，3 ）用于输水和河流控制的系统； 4）用于净化和废物处理的水质控制系统； 5）包括高速公路，公共交通，机场，铁路，管道，运河和港口设施在内的运输系统； 6）针对环境问题的解决方案，包括空气污染，地面污染，水污染，噪声污染，生态影
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering provides outstanding educational and research experiences for students at all levels. Undergraduate students are exposed to technical content in all four civil engineering disciplines, including Environmental/Water Resources Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Structures, and Transportation, as part of the required curriculum. Students can also elect to earn a concentration in Land Development Engineering or Energy Infrastructure. Graduate students typically complete research and/or coursework focusing on one of these technical areas. Some of the challenges faced by Civil Engineers include: 1) the analysis, design, construction, and monitoring of foundation systems, buildings, bridges, dams, and other structures, 2) water resources for urban use, industry, and land reclamation, 3) systems for water transmission and river control, 4) water quality control systems for purification and waste treatment, 5) transportation systems including highways, mass transit, airports, railroads, pipelines, canals, and harbor facilities, 6) solutions for environmental problems including air pollution, ground pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, ecological effects, land development, and urban and regional planning, and 7) power infrastructure design and testing. Civil engineers must balance the need for constructed facilities with the need to protect natural and social environments while safeguarding the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
