土木工程师设计支持我们社会的建筑环境和基础设施。从高速公路和建筑物到桥梁，水资源系统和环境，土木工程专业负责我们生活的世界。现代社会面临的各种挑战意味着土木工程师可以期待一份高薪，充满活力的职业。土木工程专业的学士学位课程反映了该专业的广度。学生完成基础科学和数学，工程科学，土木工程系统和材料以及四个主要土木工程学科（即结构，岩土工程，水资源/环境和运输）的课程。
Civil engineers design the constructed environment and the infrastructure that supports our society. From highways and buildings to bridges, water resource systems and the environment, the profession of civil engineering is responsible for much of the world in which we live. The variety of challenges facing modern society means that civil engineers can look forward to a highly rewarding, dynamic career. Employment of civil engineers is projected to grow 6% from 2018 to 2028. As current U.S. infrastructure experiences growing obsolescence, civil engineers will be needed to manage projects to rebuild, repair, and upgrade bridges, roads, levees, dams, airports, buildings, and other structures such as wind farms and solar arrays. A growing population means that new water systems will be required while, at the same time, aging, existing water systems must be maintained to reduce or eliminate leaks. In addition, more waste treatment plants will be needed to help clean the nation's waterways. In summary, civil engineers are needed to build and maintain critical infrastructure, as well as to protect the public and the environment.
