Our Vision
Our vision is to be recognized as a prominent department in civil engineering in the United States and a premier department in civil engineering among public universities in the northeastern United States. Our vision is guided by principles of stability and flexibility. We will maintain our strength in the traditional areas of civil engineering, but we will be flexible and we will face the new challenges in our professional environment. We foresee the need for a continual reassessment and change of our teaching and research focus as we respond to the following trends: (a) advancements in technology, (b) multidisciplinary approach, (c) responsibility to society, and (d) accountability and efficiency.
Our Mission
Civil, structural, and environmental engineers contribute to the health, safety, and quality of life of society through the design, construction, and operation of public and private infrastructure. The mission of the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering is to:
educate students in fundamental concepts, critical thinking, technical skills, and ethical principles as applied to engineering analysis and design
provide the local, national, and international communities with continuing educational opportunities, technical assistance, and intellectual resources
