Welcome to the
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Civil Engineering, the oldest and broadest of the divisions of
engineering, implements a range of public and private projects for
improving the world's environment. The civil engineer integrates
scientific principles including modern computational tools with
engineering experience to conceive, plan, design, construct, operate,
and maintain facilities such as network of highways and railroads,
airports, bridges, buildings, dams, tunnels, environmental pollution
control systems, water purification and distribution systems and urban
transportation systems that maintain, protect, and enhance the quality
of life in our society. Civil Engineering is about community service,
development and improvement, which includes the planning, design,
construction, maintenance and operation of facilities essential to
modern technological society, ranging from transit systems to offshore
structures to space satellites.
The
Undergraduate Civil Engineering Program at
JSU is fully accredited by the Engineering
Commission of the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology (ABET). The undergraduate
curriculum offers two concentrations in “General
Civil Engineering” and“ Environmental Engineering”.
The General Civil Engineering concentration is
designed for students who desire a broad knowledge
of the field of civil engineering. The Environmental
Engineering Concentration is intended for students
who are more interested in Environmental Engineering
as a career. Specialized courses in environmental
engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural
engineering, transportation engineering, and water
resources engineering are offered. At the graduate
level, the Department offers programs in the
following emphasis areas: 1) Civil Engineering; 2)
Environmental Engineering; and 3) Geological
Engineering. As one of the nation's newest
departments of Civil Engineering, we are open and
committed to an innovative engineering education,
and the high quality research as an integral part of
our education program.
