Considered members of the oldest engineering profession, civil engineers design, construct, supervise, operate, and maintain large construction projects and systems, including roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and systems for water supply and sewage treatment. Civil engineering is the broadest of the engineering disciplines, extending across many technical specialties that interact with one another. All civil engineering students must choose one of the eight tracks in the BS in Civil Engineering curriculum: construction engineering and management, coastal and ocean, environmental, general, geotechnical, structural, transportation, and water resources. Regardless of specialty, most civil engineers share a common value – serving their communities by improving the quality of life.
