根据美国劳工统计局的数据，预计2016年至2026年间，土木工程师的就业人数将增长11％。我们的土木工程课程通过必修课程为学生提供数学，科学和工程基础知识。然后，学生在结构，岩土，环境，水资源，交通，铁路或海洋和沿海工程等重点领域进行技术选修课。我们还提供土木工程，环境工程，可持续基础设施和环境可持续性方面的辅修课程。我们的教师都是活跃的研究人员，可确保本科课程的内容不断更新并保持在具有挑战性的技术水平上，并整合了发现学习的知识。本科生有机会与教师和研究生一起担任研究助理，以获得薪资或独立学习学分。该部门
Civil engineers design the infrastructure of our modern society. Employment of civil engineers is projected to grow by 7% between 2021 and 2031, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Our researchers are at the forefront of civil engineering innovation, studying advances in bridge design and evaluation, composite material use in concrete and steel, field study and modeling of coastal processes, intelligent transportation systems, disaster science, and sustainability.<br><br>Our program prepares today's students to be tomorrow's civil engineers through a required core of courses in math, science and engineering. Starting spring of junior year, students take technical electives in focus areas of structural, geotechnical, environmental, water resources, transportation, railroad, and ocean and coastal engineering. Minors in environmental engineering, sustainable infrastructure, and environmental sustainability are also offered.<br><br>Our active research programs and faculty involvement in professional societies ensures that the content of the undergraduate program is current, maintained at a challenging technical level and integrates discovery learning. Opportunities abound for undergraduates to work with faculty and graduate students as research assistants, either for pay or independent study credit. Students may also choose to participate in our co-op program, gaining industry experience while remaining on a four-year path to graduation.
