The Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering offers two degree programs giving students an opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering or in Construction Engineering. 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, environmental and water resources engineering, structural engineering and structural mechanics and transportation engineering and planning. Unless appropriate paperwork has been filed/approved the major is "civil engineering".

Civil Engineering

Civil engineering is the art and science used in the construction of facilities which people need in their environment — land, water and air. Airports, buildings, bridges, dams, harbors, highways, irrigation systems, transportation systems, sewerage and water supply systems are examples of the types of facilities which are the responsibility of the civil engineer. The civil engineering degree program develops the analysis and design capabilities of the student in the study of structures and systems. The application of computers and pertinent software is used throughout the major. A broad educational program can be selected or some specialization is possible through advised elective course selection.  The environmental engineering major within the civil engineering degree provides students with a fundamental background in civil engineering and specialization in the field of environmental engineering.

Construction Engineering

Within the Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering students may choose the bachelor of science degree program in construction engineering. The construction engineering degree provides the student with general engineering skills and the management and finance background for entry into the field of construction engineering. The curriculum provides the graduate with the necessary education to begin a professional career without further formal education, while also affording those students who enter graduate studies the opportunity to prepare more adequately in their field of specialization.

Environmental Engineering

In addition to the Civil Engineering major described above, students may elect to specialize in environmental engineering and obtain a major in that discipline. The major in Environmental Engineering provides a solid foundation in civil engineering as well as more comprehensive study in the area related to the environment. The environmental engineering area also includes water resources engineering.
