Civil Engineering
About this Major
Civil engineers create solutions for some of society's biggest challenges. A broad and dynamic field, civil engineering includes the sub-disciplines of environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation and water resources engineering as well as surveying. Because the field of civil engineering is inextricably linked to population growth, it is an excellent career choice for the future. In addition, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has estimated that there are 3.6 trillion dollars of much needed infrastructure projects within the United Sates alone.
