The program educational objectives leads to producing quality civil engineers to meet the needs of the profession and the employers. Accordingly, the program has a well-established curriculum in place, balancing scientific, technical, and professional components inline with the constituency needs, institutional mission, and program educational objectives. The program prepares our students for engineering practice by integrating the scientific, technical, and professional components, and culminating in a project-oriented major design experience. The Civil Engineering Program offers the following a four year program that prepares student to work in various civil engineering projects involving: design, construction, management and operation.

Typical job areas include design and construction of: high rise buildings (e.g. Empire State Building), bridges (such as the Brooklyn Bridge), dams (such as Hoover Dam), roads (for example interstate highways) and airports (example O'Hare Airport), water supply Systems (for example the clean water we drink daily), waste management systems for disposal of waste water into sewers and development of housing subdivisions and shopping centers.
