The environmental engineering concentration provides students with a strong foundation in environmental management and remediation. Within the framework of the program, students are introduced to environmental engineering aspects such as water quality, atmospheric pollution, hydrology, environmental systems, and environmental sampling. Civil engineers are involved in many field including structural engineering, transportation planning, environmental systems, and geotechnical analysis. Civil engineers are involved in many fields including structural engineering, transportation, environmental systems, and geotechnical analysis. The modern civil engineer uses traditional design and analysis methods as well as advanced experimental and computational techniques. At UAH, students are exposed to all of these areas of civil engineering and introduced to techniques that will make them competent practicing professional engineers. The civil engineering curriculum consists of general engineering classes (required of all engineering students), the civil engineering core classes, and the civil engineering concentration selected. The concentration requirements may be met by completing either a broad civil engineering curriculum or by specializing in structural, transportation, or environmental engineering.
