Civil and Environmental Engineering – Design a Better Future
Civil and environmental engineers make the world a better place to live and enjoy. As engineers, we apply science to design nearly all the built infrastructure you see. For example, civil engineers design the roads and bridges that provide the mobility to attend concerts and sporting events, go to work and visit family. Additionally, much of the systems we design go unnoticed but are critical to our daily lives. Civil and environmental engineers design wastewater systems that keep our streams clean and people healthy. We are responsible for providing clean, safe, and reliable drinking water into your home. Environmental engineers make sure the air you breath is clear and free of pollutants that cause disease. Civil and environmental engineers will be the leaders that solve the grand challenges for the 21st century.
