B.S Civil and Environmental Engineering

Civil engineering is the cornerstone of modern society and is responsible for nearly every structure, water supply system, road and bridge that is in existence. In fact, this is believed to be one of the oldest engineering disciplines and dates back to the first time someone built a home or other structure. Civil engineering is a sector of the engineering industry that is focused on the creation, erection and maintenance of physically and naturally built structures and environments. Civil engineering is responsible for the construction of nearly every public and private structure including roads, airports, waterways, bridges and buildings. This type of engineering can be utilized in various settings including in the public sector (governments, municipals) and the private sector (private homes). Environmental engineering is a job type that is a professional engineering discipline and takes from broad scientific topics like chemistry, biology, ecology, geology, hydraulics, hydrology, microbiology, and mathematics to create solutions that will protect and also improve the health of living organisms and improve the quality of the environment. Environmental engineering is a sub-discipline of civil engineering and chemical engineering.
