Civil engineers are involved in many aspects of modern life, such as structural engineering, transportation planning, environmental systems, and geotechnical analysis. The modern civil engineer uses traditional design and analysis methods as well as advanced experimental and computational techniques. At the University of Alabama in Huntsville students are exposed to all of these areas of civil engineering and introduced to techniques that will make them competent practicing professional engineers. The Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree from the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at UAH can be obtained by completing either a broad civil engineering curriculum or by specializing in structural, transportation, or environmental engineering. The civil engineering curriculum consists of general engineering classes (required of all engineering students), the civil engineering core, and the civil engineering concentration selected. The undergraduate structural engineering stem at UAH provides students with a strong background in many aspects of structural analysis, foundations, reinforced concrete, and advanced structural design. The student may take additional courses in such areas as advanced concrete design, advanced cementitious and composite materials, experimental mechanics, and finite element methods. The undergraduate environmental engineering concentration provides an education necessary for many aspects of environmental management and remediation. Within the framework of the program, students will be introduced to many topics, including water quality, atmospheric pollution, environmental systems, and environmental sampling. The transportation engineering concentration provides students with the skills necessary to tackle tomorrow’s data and transportation issues. Student are introduced to various topics, including transportation modeling and simulation, application of GIS to transportation issues, use of traffic crash data, and urban transportation planning. Mission The mission of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is to provide a high quality civil and environmental engineering education that instills in our students the fundamental knowledge, analytical skills and practical abilities necessary to prepare them to be leaders in their profession. Through excellence in teaching, research and service, the Department promotes opportunities for the intellectual, personal, and professional growth of our students, faculty and alumni, while providing graduates who are prepared to support the diverse needs of Huntsville, the State of Alabama, the region, our nation and the international community. Program Educational Objectives The objectives of the Civil Engineering Program are to: 1. Produce graduates who successfully obtain professional positions requiring a strong understanding in the traditional knowledge and skills of the engineering profession. 2. Produce graduates who are prepared for their field of specialty in Civil Engineering and successful in future employment and academic opportunities. 3. Provide our graduates with the environment that facilitates professional, intellectual, and leadership skills necessary to lead a productive life and contribute to the economic advancement and quality of life of the region, state and nation TOP BACK CEE HOME PAGE UAH HOME PAGE The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, TH-S201,Technology Hall, The University of Alabama in Huntsville, Huntsville, AL-35899.Phone:(256)824-6854,Fax:(256)824-6724. bjmoore@cee.uah.edu Last Updated on:
