The curriculum for the first year is common for all the majors in engineering. The program also accommodates students who wish to pursue a minor in environmental engineering, in addition to their civil engineering major. Students also choose from a wide range of elective courses, where they can concentrate on specific topics in their areas of interest.Īll undergraduate students in the department pursue a four-year degree in civil engineering. Students obtain strong technical knowledge by taking at least two required courses in each of the above disciplines. Water resources engineering focuses on water usage and distribution across networks as well as the design and construction of infrastructure that control bodies of water, such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and oceans. Transportation engineering emphasizes the planning, design, and construction of efficient transportation infrastructure such as highways, airports, railways, seaports, and public transport. Geotechnical engineering focuses on soil behavior and the subsequent design of adequate supports for all structures resting on the earth. Environmental engineering allows a civil engineer to analyze and model the environment, assess the effects of human activities on it, and design control facilities to ensure improvement and protection of environmental resources. Structural engineering deals with the analysis, design and construction of buildings, bridges, ships, aircraft, and other structures.
These disciplines allow a civil engineer, working to improve the environment, to plan, design and construct the industrial plants of the world, the great public works, the housing, the bases for space exploration and the transportation networks. The program puts particular emphasis on introducing the students to the broad range of civil engineering disciplines.Ĭivil engineers use mathematics, along with the basic sciences and engineering sciences, in the study of the structural, geotechnical, transportation, environmental, and water resources engineering disciplines. The goal is to prepare students to function professionally as responsible members of the global engineering community dedicated to life-long learning and collaborative practice, discovery and sharing a breadth of knowledge. The mission of the undergraduate Civil Engineering program is to develop an educational plan for each of our students so upon graduation they are prepared to continue their graduate studies or enter into the civil engineering profession. Civil Engineering Program Mission Statement The Civil Engineering program uses the standard set of ABET, Inc., Student Outcomes (1) through (7) as described above under Engineering. Commitment to engineering as a service-to-humanity profession through practicing sustainable engineering for New York and the world.Dedication to furthering the engineering profession through continuous self-improvement.Leadership, achievement, and involvement in engineering and engineering-related professions.
