Collaborating to engineer solutions for a resilient, sustainable future.
Students in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering make a lasting impact in the world as they launch careers which design and apply innovative solutions fostering sustainability in the natural and built environments.
Graduates
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers three graduate degree programs: master’s, doctoral, and degree of Engineer. With four distinct focus areas, the leading purpose of our master’s program is to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary for a professional career or doctoral studies.
Undergraduates
The built and natural environments are interdependent and inseparable, requiring that the next generation of civil and environmental engineers work collaboratively as never before. We offer undergraduate majors in Environmental Systems Engineering, Architectural Design, Atmosphere/Energy and Civil Engineering.
Tracking COVID infections through wastewater
The COVID pandemic marks the first time scientists have been able to track a respiratory disease through wastewater analysis. In this Q&A, civil and environmental engineering Professor Alexandria Boehm discusses how she, Marlene Wolfe, and a team of researchers developed a system for monitoring prevalence on campus and collaborated with public health officers on an epidemiology project serving a number of communities across California.
