Hands-on Learning
Many civil engineering courses include hands-on activities designed to help students learn core concepts. These include student projects and laboratories where students can learn firsthand about the behavior of civil engineering materials. Students are also encouraged to participate in one of the more than 30 student organizations in the School of Engineering. These organizations help students strengthen their understanding of engineering design, create a network of fellow engineering students, and have fun. Students use state-of-the-art equipment during their classes and labs to prepare for the variety of careers that await upon graduation.
Many faculty members in the Department of Civil Engineering participate in the Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (URCA) program. Students are encouraged to engage with faculty members and participate in research opportunities. The Department of Civil Engineering also keeps students up-to-date on internship and career opportunities.
