Civil engineers design, construct, and maintain society’s infrastructure: bridges, dams and levees, harbors, waterways and irrigation facilities; water supply systems; contaminant flows, waste treatment facilities, and air and geoenvironmental remediation; airports, highways, railroads, and intelligent transportation systems; pipelines; and power lines. Purdue’s curriculum accommodates civil engineering’s breadth by requiring a fundamental set of courses and offering you the flexibility to concentrate portions of your study in areas of special interest to you. The program prepares you to enter into the professional practice of civil engineering and provides you a solid base for graduate study and research in your area of professional interest. Students can choose to study general Civil Engineering or concentrate in one of the following nine areas: Architectural Engineering Construction Engineering Environmental Engineering Geomatics Engineering Geotechnical Engineering Hydraulic & Hydrologic Engineering Materials Engineering Structural Engineering Transportation Engineering

Careers in Civil Engineering Architectural Engineer Construction Engineer Environmental Engineer Geomatics Engineer Geotechnical Engineer Hydraulic & Hydrologic Engineer Materials Engineer Structural Engineer Transportation and Infrastructure System Engineer With a Civil Engineering degree, you can go to law or medical school or work in design, construction, testing, sales, etc. across a range of areas and industries. Civil graduates are sought by all major industries and hold many important and challenging positions in: Aerospace Bridges Business/Management Chemicals City/Town Commissioning Computers Consulting Contracting Controls Design Energy Entrepreneurship Foundation Design Government Highway Design Land Development Land Surveying Mechanical Design Mining Petroleum/Oil Product Design Project Management Public Policy Research Roadways Sanitation Teaching Transportation U.S. Army Corps of Engineer Water
