Specializations
Environmental/Water Resources: Play a critical role in the design and operation of water distribution and wastewater collection systems, water and wastewater treatment facilities, managing biosolids and solid waste, and preventing pollution. Water resources engineering includes designing and maintaining stormwater facilities to manage runoff quantity and quality.
Geotechnical Engineering: Make modern infrastructure possible with expertise in the design of shallow and deep foundations, slopes, retaining walls, levees, subsurface exploration programs, underground openings, such as tunnels and mines, base/subbase/subgrade of roadways, and soil improvements under static, hydrostatic, and earthquake loadings.
Structural Engineering: Provide technical expertise for the safe and effective design of buildings and bridges, considering loads, such as wind, earthquakes, and people. Designs could include concrete, steel, timber, masonry, and fiber-reinforced polymers.
Transportation Engineering: Improve daily life and provide solutions for efficient travel. These include designing highways, traffic signals, and pavements. Transportation engineers consider factors such as pedestrian and traffic safety, evacuations, pavement management, and intelligent transportation systems.
