Key Summary

    About: The BS in Civil Engineering provides a comprehensive education in the principles of civil engineering. Students learn about structural, environmental, and geotechnical engineering, alongside hands-on experience with modern engineering tools and practices. The program equips graduates with the skills needed to design, construct, and maintain infrastructure projects effectively.
    Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue various careers in civil engineering fields, including roles as civil engineers, structural engineers, project managers, and consultants. They may work in government agencies, construction firms, and engineering consultancies, contributing to projects that improve public infrastructure and community services.

Civil Engineering is the oldest and broadest engineering discipline, concerned with the development of the built environment. This encompasses various infrastructure components that modern civilization requires for existence. Buildings, bridges, and dams are some of the structural components designed by Structural Engineers. Water Resource and Environmental Engineers manage planning for water treatment facilities, water resources, waste disposal, and environmental remediation. Transportation engineers design roads, highways, airports, light-rail systems, waterways and canals, and railroad systems. The Geotechnical engineers do the development of foundations for buildings, studying the mechanics of soil, foundation design, and earthquake mitigation. Civil Engineering is an intensely exciting profession that prepares you to potentially design and built possibly the largest to the smallest human-made structures.

The Civil Engineering Division at WT focuses on a collaborative, hands-on approach to education and research and emphasizes real-world applications. Civil Engineering faculty at WT engages with industry and government on a broad range of research topics relevant to environmental study, structural, transportation, geotechnical engineering, water resources, and sustainable development and mechanics.
