Civil Engineering Program<\/h3>\n

Civil Engineering, the oldest and broadest of the divisions of engineering, implements a range of public and private projects for improving the world\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

According to the Money Magazine, Civil Engineering is\u00a0 \u201cone of the top six careers in America\u201d. Those who enter civil engineers today can look forward to one of the most rewarding careers ever open to men and women \u2013 offering personal fulfillment, enduring service to humanity, prestige, career stability, and financial success. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that job opportunities in civil engineering will increase by 20 percent from 2012 to 2022, much faster than the average for all occupations. Civil Engineering is No. 1 in Job Growth. In addition, civil Engineers will be by far the highest in demand among all engineering occupations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Undergraduate Civil Engineering Program at JSU is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https:\/\/www.abet.org, under the commission\u2019s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Civil Engineering<\/span>. The undergraduate curriculum offers two concentrations in \u201cGeneral Civil Engineering\u201d and \u201cEnvironmental Engineering\u201d. Specialized courses in environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, and water resources engineering are offered.<\/span><\/p>\n
