Our programs
Civil Engineering Â
The Civil Engineering Program is characterized by exceptional technical diversity, great breadth and depth of subject matter and a propensity for proactively addressing the practical needs of society. In our program, you'll become well-grounded in the basics of the discipline, which will allow you to consider various options for specialization. Our graduates go on to successful careers in engineering, business, and other occupations.
Environmental Engineering Â
In the Environmental Engineering Program you will learn the fundamentals of characterizing and monitoring processes within environmental systems through measurement and analysis. You will also gain firsthand experience in applying engineering design principles, biogeochemical analyses and environmental assessment techniques to the solution of specific environmental problems related to air, soil and water pollution control.
Mineral Resource Engineering
Would you like a career that involves hands-on outdoor work and common sense in a small closely-knit industry? Do you enjoy both teamwork and independence? Would you prefer a job that is a little different from those in other engineering disciplines? Do responsibility, travel and high salaries appeal to you? If so, you might be the right person for the Mineral Resource Program.
