Civil Engineering (B.S.)
About
Civil engineering is the oldest existing engineering discipline. With increasing global population, the growing complexity of industries, and changing urban centers, the civil engineer's task—applying science to the control and utilization of the environment for the total benefit of mankind—represents a challenge unsurpassed in all of engineering.
Illinois Tech's civil engineering program provides breadth in core sub-disciplines (including structures, transportation, and construction management) and depth in at least one area of specialization (at the discretion of the student and academic advisor).
In professional courses, classroom lectures are supplemented by laboratory practice, including the study of materials, concrete, hydraulics, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, and surveying.
Our civil engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
