What is civil engineering?
Simply described, a civil engineering degree specializes in the environment that has been built around us. This field of study, however, is far from simple. From the construction of roads, buildings, bridges, or water supply systems, to managing a construction site, to analyzing research, civil engineers are responsible for the very foundation of the society we know.
Structural Engineer
Environmental Engineer
Construction Engineer
Geotechnical Engineer

Popular Courses
A calculus-based introduction to physics for students majoring in science or engineering. With an emphasis on the scientific method and problem-solving through physical and conceptual reasoning, the course content will focus on a study of Newtonian mechanics, thermodynamics, sound and waves with applications for scientists and engineers.
Fundamentals of statics; static equilibrium and introduction to elements of mechanics to elastic materials.
This course provides students with a working knowledge of the design and performance of Asphaltic Concrete (AC) and Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) mixtures through understanding the properties and requirements of the component materials and their effects on subsequent performance.
Comprehensive and realistic design project using the systems approach. Design choices and their effect upon the environment. Design constraints include constructability, minimization of environmental impact and cost-effectiveness. Managerial and professional aspects of design practice.
Degree Info
- Upper-level engineering classes are taken at the neighboring University of Missouri-Kansas City to take advantage of their engineering laboratories and expertise. The courses are automatically transferred to the 麻豆破解传媒 registrar at the end of each semester.
- The engineering curricula require an engineering internship and 60 hours of community service.
- Civil engineering students will engage in highly interactive projects that are simultaneously challenging, educational, and enjoyable! One such project is creating a bridge out of sticks that must hold 75 pounds of weight, as shown in the video below.
