The Department of Civil Engineering offers a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (B.S.C.E.) degree. BSCE is the road map that leads to a professional engineering degree that emphasizes the engineering sciences and civil engineering design concepts needed to properly design, construct, and maintain naturally and/or physically built environmental systems such as roads, highways, bridges, dams, canals, water treatment plants, wastewater treatment plants, and buildings. The Civil Engineering curriculum prepares the student for both professional practice and graduate study.<br><br>At the graduate level, the department has offerings for the Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in engineering science with an emphasis in civil engineering. The latter graduate degrees are listed under the School of Engineering.<br><br><br>The M.S. in engineering science is offered in a number of emphasis areas: aeroacoustics, chemical engineering, civil engineering, computational hydroscience, computer science, electrical engineering, electromagnetics, environmental engineering, geology, geological engineering, hydrology, mechanical engineering, material science and engineering, and telecommunications. <br><br><br>A M.S. in engineering science with emphasis in environmental engineering prepares a student with advanced technical knowledge and communication skills for pursuing a career in industry, engineering research and development, public service, or for doctoral work. Students can concentrate in any of the following specialty areas: water resources, watershed systems, hydrology, surface water quality, stormwater, wastewater, solid waste, air pollution, groundwater modeling and remediation, and remote sensing and geospatial technologies. Students entering the program come from a variety of engineering and nonengineering disciplines, such as geology, chemistry, biology, and mathematics
