Program MapsCivil Engineering ProgramCivil Engineering covers the broad areas of environmental, geoenvironmental, hydrotechnical structures, materials,
and transportation engineering. The program is designed in such a way that students are exposed to the basic civil engineering science during
the second and third years of the program. During this time, the students are required to take courses that introduce the fundamental
concepts in all of the areas listed above. In the final year, students have the opportunity to select electives that allow some degree of
specialization. However, students are strongly encouraged to select electives that will provide them with a broad-based technical
background. Project/design courses are provided in two of the three upper years. These courses are designed to give students experience in
solving open-ended problems, in working in partnership with others and, where possible, in becoming involved in interdisciplinary activities.
Environmental EngineeringEnvironmental engineering is the application of science and engineering principles for the protection and improvement of public health and the environment, including air, water and land resources. It involves water treatment, water and air pollution control, industrial and hazardous waste containment and treatment, land reclamation and remediation, and municipal solid waste management, including the recycling of materials and energy recovery. It also includes studies on the environmental impact of proposed infrastructure and resource development projects.

Geological Engineering ProgramGeological Engineering is designed for those persons
interested in the exploration, development, recovery and stewardship of
subsurface resources. A broad background in aspects of geotechnical,
mining and petroleum engineering is provided. Some degree of
specialization in each of these areas is possible in the selection of
upper year electives.
