| Welcome
to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Website.
The
Department offers courses of study in both civil engineering and
environmental engineering leading to the Bachelor of Science, Master’s
and Doctoral degrees. The Department’s instructional and
research programs focus in the areas of environmental and water
resources engineering, geo-technical engineering, structural engineering
and structural mechanics, and transportation engineering.
The location of the Department in one of the nation’s
top high technology communities and the Department’s ties with
NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, the National Space
Science and Technology Center and numerous other research centers
offers the students significant opportunities to pursue education
and research at the cutting edge of technology.
The Department’s undergraduate program in civil
engineering is fully accredited
by ABET, the national Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
The Departmental faculty research grants- $175,000/yr/faculty
– provide an excellent source of support to both graduate and undergraduate
students.
The university offers a number of scholarships to qualified undergraduate
students.
The
Department’s ASCE student chapter is a very active and vibrant
organization that is nationally recognized for its five
national Concrete Canoe Championships and 12 regional championships.
It is quite an accomplishment for our civil engineering students
to have Huntsville – a rocket city – labeled as the
Concrete Canoe Capitol of the World.
Civil engineering students pursuing an educational program
at UAH have a great opportunity to learn from a marvelous faculty,
interact with a wonderful student body, and prepare for an
exciting professional career.
Our
web site provides you detailed information about the undergraduate
and graduate programs, the faculty and the facilities.
The Department is involved in numerous exciting initiatives
