Overview

Civil engineering is the design, construction, and maintenance of the structures and systems society depends on every day — from buildings and power plants to roads, bridges, and tunnels. It also includes managing the environment for the maintenance and improvement of our quality of life.

The Civil Engineering program of Christian Brothers University is design-oriented and lab intensive, emphasizing hands-on experience and teamwork. You’ll learn basic civil engineering principles, develop problem-solving skills, and spend lots of time in the laboratory so that you build a working knowledge of traditional and newer areas of civil engineering.

Careers

There’s an almost unlimited demand for civil engineering graduates because the current workforce is aging (according to the American Society of Civil Engineers). And, the world’s infrastructure is continually being re-built.

Government agencies, consulting firms, and large corporations hire civil engineers. The degree is also a good preparation for medical school, law school, and advanced degrees in civil engineering.

As a civil engineer, you have many subspecialty areas to choose from:

Structural engineers design and analyze buildings, bridges, and other infrastructures.

Transportation engineers design highways, railroad systems, traffic signal systems, and airports.

Geotechnical engineers explore the subsurface conditions of a site to determine what types of foundations should be used.

Environmental engineers design systems to minimize pollution caused by wastewater, stormwater, hazardous materials, and noise.

Water resource engineers design dams and channels to prevent erosion and flooding.

Construction engineers use technology to minimize the cost of building and maintaining infrastructures.
