Civil engineers are creative problem solvers. They use mathematical and scientific principles to manipulate the forces and materials of nature into products or systems to improve people's lives. A civil engineer works in such areas as consulting for environmental, structural, transportation and water resources; construction; natural resources and renewable energy; governmental agencies; and national security issues. Your job as a civil engineer can take you anywhere in the world. The Department of Civil Engineering offers a complete undergraduate program to students on the Lincoln and Omaha campuses of the University of Nebraska. Curriculum requirements are nearly identical on both campuses. The goal is to prepare students for entry into the civil engineering profession immediately after graduation or to pursue graduate-level studies.
