Overview

Civil engineers plan, design, construct, and maintain public works, such as roads, bridges, and harbors. While they focus on building, they also look at the environmental impact of the structure and the structure’s stability in the case of environmental hazards, such as earthquakes and hurricanes.

Students of the Civil Engineering program of the Utah State University must gain proficiency in at least two of these areas. As they prepare for careers as civil engineers, students will learn how to do the following types of things:

Design or supervise the construction of bridges, buildings, dams, aqueducts, sport complexes, energy complexes, irrigation and transportation systems (such as highways, canals, rapid transit lines, etc.), and more

Develop water resources for municipal, industrial, and recreational use

Participate in land reclamation, soil mechanics, and urban planning

Maintain water quality through water purification and proper waste treatment

Solve problems involving air pollution and solid and hazardous waste management

The civil engineering degree is accredited by the EAC Accreditation Commission of ABET. The job placement rate for students graduating from USU’s engineering programs is extremely high.
