Civil Engineering
People today live in, walk on, travel through, and breathe the work of civil engineers. Society will continue to demand more of civil engineers who can plan, design, build, and maintain the facilities and infrastructure on which we depend. The field is only limited by your imagination. So you want to design bridges? How about building a highway, or creating a more efficient transit system? Satellites have to be launched, and you might be the one to design the launch pad. Lately, civil engineers have found new ways of purifying water by running it through artificial wetlands, then routing it through the drinking water treatment system that other civil engineers have designed. We ask much of civil engineers, and we'll ask more of them tomorrow.
Civil engineers from the University of Wyoming's College of Engineering and Applied Science come equipped with a problem-solving ability ready to be applied to environmental concerns, the expanding technological revolution, infrastructure repair and rehabilitation, and space habitation. They are ready for tomorrow's challenges.
The Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering trains its students for those challenges by providing a core of basic engineering courses for its undergraduates and allowing them to specialize in any one or a combination of the following technical areas:
- Environmental Engineering
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Structural Engineering
- Transportation Engineering
- Water Resources Engineering
