The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is training Nevada's next generation of problem solvers. Our students learn to apply their scientific and technical expertise to some of our planet's biggest problems, including decaying infrastructure, polluted drinking water and clogged roadways.
A well-rounded core curriculum combined with opportunities for students to specialize in a subfield of civil engineering gives our graduates both breadth and depth of engineering knowledge. Additionally, a departmental emphasis on creating life-long learners who can communicate about technical, social and ethical issues in engineering design prepares our graduates to work well in interdisciplinary and team environments.
