Department
Overview
|
| The
Department of Civil Engineering provides an undergraduate program
of study in the planning, design, and management of civil infrastructure
and service systems. Each student receives a broad, professional
education in all fundamental areas of civil engineering, however,
specialty areas of study offered include environmental and water
resources engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering
, and transportation engineering. The specific aims of the Department's
undergraduate program are to: (1) sponsor courses which provide
the broad educational background required of all engineers; (2)
develop in students an appreciation for and understanding of the
materials and human resources utilized in designing and constructing
civil engineering- related systems that shelter people and equipment,
transport people and goods, supply water and dispose of waste, and
deliver energy; (3) produce graduates who think logically and perform
in an orderly manner when solving engineering problems; and (4)
produce graduates who can communicate and demonstrate confidence
in their work. The MSU civil engineering graduate is particularly
well-versed in the use of computers to solve both simple and complex
engineering problems. Particular emphasis is placed on preparing
a graduate who is versatile and who can work as a member of a team
under demanding conditions.
