needed for the civil and environmental engineering education: students take physics, math, chemistry, theoretical and applied mechanics, general engineering courses and electives. The last two years of study involve primarily civil and environmental engineering courses. Students elect a primary and secondary area of study from the seven areas of concentration and three interdisciplinary programs within the department. Learn more about these areas of study below.</p> <p class="headline">As of Fall 2024, CEE now offers a B.S. degree in Environmental Engineering. The environmental engineering undergraduate program comprises five areas of focus: Energy and Environmental Sustainability; Climate and Environmental Sustainability; Water Systems and Sustainability; Public Health Engineering and One Water. The first graduates of the program are expected in spring 2025. Current undergraduates may transfer into the program.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="tile w110 white-box text-center minheight600" id="tile18461" data-tileid="18461" > <div class="wrapper py-3"> <div class="lower text-center maxwidth1140 " id="lower18461"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12"></div> <div class="col-md column1 px-md-2 py-2 mx-md-3 white-box" > <p><img src="/_sitemanager/viewphoto.aspx?id=14971&s=450" alt="Engineering Hall" class="image" data-fancy-caption="<p>student looking at construction project</p>" width="450" loading="lazy" /></p> <h3 style="text-align: left;"><span class="fs080x"><strong>Construction Engineering and Management</strong></span></h3> <p style="text-align: left;">Construction engineers manage and direct construction operations.
