Introduction:

Civil engineering is concerned with a wide variety of elements of natural and man-made environments. The civil engineer conceives, designs, constructs, manages and maintains physical facilities and infrastructure such as residential and industrial buildings, bridges, transportation systems, tunnels, dams, power plants, space structures, water resources, water treatment systems, municipal and industrial waste disposal including hazardous waste treatment systems, and air and water pollution control systems. Students may elect to take a series of courses concentrated in structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, hydraulic and water resources engineering, environmental engineering, or general civil engineering. Well-equipped physical and computer laboratories are available for instruction and research.
