Undergraduate Students

The Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering offers three undergraduate degrees:

• Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering
• Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering
• Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering
  

Civil engineering focuses on both the built and natural environment through the design of:

• Commercial and industrial facilities
• Transportations systems
• Systems for the protection and use of air, water, land and ecological resources

Architectural engineering deals with the design of the systems of a building: 

• Structural systems to transmit forces to the ground
• Systems for efficient energy use
• Heating, cooling systems and air quality
• Construction systems and methods

Environmental engineering deals with the protection of the natural environment and human health as influenced by the environment:

• Air quality
• Water quality
• Water resources
• Sustainable energy
• Contaminant process engineering
