ENGINEERING
Civil Engineering
Civil engineering offers a wide range of careers for students interested in the planning, design, and construction management of facilities essential to modern life in both the public and private sectors. Varying widely in nature, size and scope, such facilities include buildings, bridges, tunnels, highways, transit systems, dams, airports, irrigation projects, water treatment and distribution facilities, waste treatment and processing facilities, structures for space exploration, and offshore engineering designs applications. This course of study fulfills the academic requirements for registration as a professional engineer. In the coming decades, almost two billion more people will populate earth in both developed and developing countries. This growth will create unprecedented demands and opportunities for new methods and innovations in energy production, food supply, land development, water treatment, transportation systems, materials processing, waste disposal, healthcare delivery, environmental preservation and structural designs. Civil engineers play both direct and indirect roles in meeting many of these needs, with the goal of providing and improving the quality and infrastructure of life.
Environmental Engineering
Environmental engineering plays a vital role in maintaining the quality of both public health and the natural environment. Environmental engineering encompasses the scientific assessment and development of sustainable engineering solutions to environmental problems impacting the biosphere and land, water, and air quality. Environmental issues affect almost all commercial and industrial sectors, and are a central concern for the public, for all levels of government and in international relations. This course of study fulfills the academic requirements for registration as a professional engineer. In common with other engineering fields, courses in solid mechanics, fluid dynamics, and thermal sciences are central to the environmental engineering degree. Coursework specific to environmental engineering includes environmental chemistry and microbiology, as well as treatment processes and approach.
Architectural Engineering
Architectural engineering prepares students for leadership careers in the building design, consulting, construction, and management industry and for research at the graduate level on building- and sustainability- related topics. In particular, the architectural engineering program prepares students to design, build and operate facilities that improve our quality of life. This course of study fulfills the academic requirements for registration as a professional engineer. The architectural engineering curriculum is recommended for those wishing to specialize within the building industry in engineering design (heating, cooling, illumination, electrical, solar, and structures) or construction and contracting (facilities management). Architectural engineering students may select from several focus areas, including: structural systems; mechanical systems (heating, ventilating and air conditioning); lighting and electrical systems; and construction engineering and management. Course codes for these programs are AREN, CVEN and EVEN.
