CIVIL, CONSTRUCTION & ENVIRONMENTAL
Undergraduate Program
The diverse needs of people and society for many types of constructed facilities give a broad range to civil, construction and environmental engineering. This breadth is well suited to allow specialization, separate degree programs, and selection of majors in this branch of engineering.
The Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering offers two undergraduate degree programs giving the student an opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in the following areas:
- Civil Engineering
- Construction Engineering and Management
The undergraduate degree program in civil engineering allows students to declare and earn a major in environmental engineering or civil engineering. In addition, the undergraduate degree program in civil engineering allows students to specialize in construction engineering and management, environmental engineering, structural engineering and structural mechanics, and transportation engineering and materials.
Construction Engineering and Management (CEMA)
Students that choose the construction engineering and management degree or civil engineering degree with specialization in construction engineering and management take courses in management, finance, and/or legal issues, in addition to construction engineering courses. The broad-based, interdisciplinary background of these degree paths is intended to prepare the student for a profession in the construction industry upon graduation, or to pursue graduate studies.

Environmental Engineering (ENEN)
The environmental major and specialization is concerned with the control and improvement of natural surroundings using scientific and engineering principles. A student may elect to major, or to specialize in environmental engineering within the civil engineering degree program. This area of specialization and major prepares students for a profession of conceiving and designing systems for water supply, wastewater treatment, air pollution control, solid and hazardous waste disposal, development of alternative energy systems, and design of dams and hydroelectric power plants and to pursue graduate studies.

Structural Engineering and Structural Mechanics (SESM)
The structural engineering and structural mechanics specialization involves conception, design, analysis, and construction of structural systems and application of structural mechanics principles to a wide variety of engineered systems. This area of specialization prepares students for a profession of conceiving, designing, and constructing building and bridge structures (including foundations), sign support structures, amusement park structures, structural components of engineered systems, construction formwork/shoring systems, crane structures, and to pursue graduate studies.

Transportation Engineering and Materials (TEAM)
A student that specializes in transportation engineering and materials learns to identify and solve problems related to transportation systems and proper use of materials used in transportation infrastructure. This area of specialization prepares students for a profession in designing and constructing transportation infrastructure including interstate highway systems including interchanges, local roadway networks, airports, and pavement systems and further graduate study.
