Civil & Environmental Engineering

Return to: Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering

Civil Engineering includes all aspects of the planning, design, evaluation, construction, and maintenance of the infrastructure of modern life. This includes buildings, bridges, highways, airports, water and waste treatment facilities, dams and flood control, off-shore structures, rocket launch pads, space stations, communication towers and many other engineering works. Civil Engineering is essential for global development and maintaining a good quality of life and has tremendous impact on humankind. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for a global marketplace and to obtain a strong understanding of green and sustainable practices while also emphasizing the societal impacts of design solutions.

The Civil Engineering Department strives to prepare students for professional careers by providing a broad-based civil engineering education through a rigorous curriculum including hands-on laboratory and design experiences integrated throughout. The department is committed to the integration of teaching, research, scholarly, and service activities within a collaborative project based educational environment as part of its students’ preparation for both engineering practice and graduate school. The Civil Engineering department also places a strong emphasis on ethical engineering practices throughout its curriculum.

The program endeavors to produce graduates ready to communicate their ideas in a diverse and multidisciplinary workplace.

The CEE Program Educational Objectives (PEO) are as follows:

1. Graduates have a broad base of knowledge, are aware of emerging trends in their field, and understand the interrelationships between sub-disciplines that affect engineering projects.
2. Graduates are creative problem-solvers who consider technical, social, political, environmental and economic issues in developing realistic engineering solutions based on effective data collection and analysis.
3. Graduates conduct their professional lives in a manner that reflects positively on themselves, their employer and their alma mater and recognize the ethical, global, and social responsibility of their profession.
4. Graduates have the technical, communication and interpersonal skills to assume increasing responsibility and leadership roles within a diverse and multidisciplinary workplace.
