Program Description
- Civil engineering is a profession that utilizes our nation's natural resources to improve the quality of life for all, while at the same time preserving and protecting the environment.
- Nearly every aspect of everyday life involves the use of facilities and infrastructure that are designed and maintained by civil and environmental engineers.
- Examples are water facilities and wastewater disposal plants in cities and towns; hydraulic structures and electric energy generation; transportation systems such as highways, railroads and airports; buildings and bridges of all kinds; community planning; and solid and hazardous waste disposal.
- The scientific advancement, design, and preservation of our nation's infrastructure, which is the essence of the civil and environmental engineering profession, requires a fundamental grounding in physics, mathematics and chemistry.
- Using these fundamentals as a common building block, the C.E.E. discipline is traditionally divided into sub-disciplines or programs of concentration.
- At Washington State University we offer the following programs of concentration: environmental engineering; geotechnical and transportation engineering; hydraulic and water resources; and structural engineering and materials.
- Graduate students select a particular program of interest and concentrate all course work and research in that area.
- Approximately 80 graduate students are in residence; typically one-third of these are Ph.D. candidates and the remainder are pursuing an M.S. degree.
