Civil Engineers design the infrastructure that supports modern life.  The bridges and the structures above ground, the foundations and tunnels below ground, the utilities that serve communities, transportation systems that transport people and products, pipelines, clean water supply, and wastewater management systems are all planned, designed, constructed, and operated by civil engineers. 

Undergraduate students entering the Civil and Environmental engineering program will graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil engineering.  Students who wish to place more emphasis in environmental, structural, geotechnical, water resources, or transportation engineering may choose technical electives in these areas, or continue to pursue a Masters degree.

UAF Civil Engineering students gain practical experience designing and building projects both inside and outside of the classroom, many of our students participate in student organizations and national competitions.

“Civil Engineering students are actively involved in hands on projects like the Steel Bridge Competition and Ice Arch where students work as a team outside of the classroom.”-Liz Binning, Senior, Civil Engineering
