土木工程系的教职员工非常坚信，本科教育应该使学生做好成为富有成效的专业工程师的准备。因此，在本科教学中特别强调工程原理在解决问题上的应用。在完成了广泛的土木工程核心课程后，本科生可以在特定的土木工程领域（例如结构，岩土或环境工程，建筑管理或工程力学）中选择一个选修顺序，也可以选择合作教育课程。这使学生可以在他或她的教育过程中，以工程能力与承包商，咨询工程师，建筑师或材料供应商一起全职工作，以延长工作时间。这种学习经验旨在将课堂理论与实践经验和专业发展相结合。课程的设计旨在使学生选择四（4）或更多经批准的选
The faculty of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department believe very strongly that undergraduate education should prepare you to be productive professional engineers. For this reason, particular emphasis in undergraduate teaching is placed on the application of engineering principles to the solution of problems. After completing a broad civil engineering core program, youll choose a technical sequence in an area of civil engineering of particular interest, such as structural (S), geotechnical (G), or environmental (E) engineering, construction management (C), or pre-architecture (P). In addition, all civil engineering students participate in a team-based senior capstone design course which will provide you experience with solving multidisciplinary civil engineering problems.
