普林斯顿大学的土木与环境工程系（CEE）为学生提供了在共同的部门架构下从事各种课程和集中领域的机会。该部门支持五个子计划选项：建筑和工程，环境工程，地质工程，结构工程，工程和文科。
Princeton's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) offers a program of study in Civil Engineering accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, with sub-plan options in structural engineering, environmental engineering, geological engineering, and architecture & engineering (structures focus). CEE also offers subplan options in Engineering & the Liberal Arts and Architecture & Engineering (architecture focus) that do not hold ABET accreditation. These tracks are for students who wish to obtain an engineering background as a foundation for a wide range of careers, such as medicine, law, public policy, visual arts, or engineering studies in materials, ethics, or history. The Department firmly believes that independent research is an integral component of an engineer's education. Consequently, all seniors are required to complete a year-long thesis project, write a thesis and present the results of their work throughout the year. Sophomores and juniors are also encouraged to participate in independent research and should take the initiative to discuss their interests with departmental faculty members.
