TWO MAJORS: Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering

THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

INCREASE YOUR MARKETABILITY. While you can major in general civil engineering, you may also specialize in the areas of environmental and water resources, structural engineering, construction and public works management, transportation and urban engineering — all fields projected to experience continued growth in the coming decade.

STRUCTURAL SPECIALIST AND ENVIRONMENTAL EXPERTS. You’ll get hands-on experience with the tools and materials of your craft in our seven labs: structures, environmental, asphalt, concrete, hydraulics, computer modeling and soil mechanics.

THINKING ABOUT ARCHITECTURE? Consider civil engineering. There are some similarities between the professions, and a key difference — the job market for civil engineers is much healthier. (Many civil engineers, in support of their profession, will tell you it’s their expertise in materials use that enables architects’ ideas to work.)

BUILD BETTER BUILDINGS. With a specialization in structural engineering, coursework in computerized structural analysis and design can help you find ways to solve the mysteries of structural failures and to construct buildings, bridges and dams that can stand for the ages.

CLEAN UP THE PLANET. Specialize in environmental and water resources to learn the fundamentals of designing systems for water resources and supply, wastewater treatment and disposal, air pollution control, and solid and hazardous waste management. You’ll be well-prepared for a hot job market.
