Program Overview
Civil Engineering is a profession that applies the basic principles of Science in conjunction with mathematical and computational tools to solve problems associated with developing and sustaining civilized life on our planet. Civil Engineering works are generally one-of-a-kind projects; they are often grand in scale, and they usually require cooperation among professionals of many different disciplines.
The completion of a civil engineering project involves the solution of technical problems in which information from numerous sources and myriad non-technical factors play a significant role. Some of the
most common examples of civil engineering works include bridges, buildings, dams, airports, ports and harbors, highways, tunnels, towers, and water distribution systems. Civil Engineers are concerned with flood and landslide control, air and water pollution, and the design of facilities to allow them to withstand earthquakes and other natural hazards.
Civil Engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines both in terms of the range of problems that fall within its purview and in the range of knowledge required to solve those problems.
