Mission
The faculty and staff provide the opportunity for civil engineering students to develop state-of-the-art engineering knowledge and skills through student-centered education and research. Teamwork, professionalism, and lifelong learning are hallmarks of our program. Students and faculty provide outreach through innovative civil engineering solutions to significant regional, national, and global issues.
Vision
The department will be a leader in civil engineering education integrating design throughout the curriculum. Upon graduation, our students will be able to perform in the global civil engineering community. We will be a recognized center for innovative civil engineering research and expertise that meets the needs of industry, government, and society. |

| Disciplines of Civil Engineering |
| Structural - design systems of structural members used to support loads for a specified public function such as bridges, buildings, dams, and bell towers. |
Geotechnical - design foundation and earthwork systems to support soil itself and transfer loads from structures into the earth while limiting settlements. |
| Hydrology - the movement, distribution, and quality of water throughout the Earth, and thus addresses both the hydrologic cycle and water resources. |
Environmental - the application of principles from both science and engineering to imporve the environment, to protect resources and to remediate polluted areas. |
| Transportation - planning and design for the safe and efficient movement of goods and people in a timely manner on highways, water, rail, subway, air, and pipelines. |
Surveying - measurements between physical features to include horizontal distances and elevation differences to determine property lines, lay-out buildings, and produce maps. |
| Construction - managing the building of civil engineering systems from cradle to grave to include coordination between the owner, contractor, and designer. |
