Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering

Civil & Environmental Engineering: building skills to build a better world.

Civil and environmental engineering is the engineering of constructed facilities:

  • buildings, bridges, tunnels, and dams
  • harbors and airports
  • waterways, railways, and highways
  • water power, irrigation, drainage, and water supply
  • wastewater and hazardous waste disposal
  • environmental health systems

Civil engineers are the professionals who plan, design, direct the construction, and oversee the maintenance of these facilities.

Academic programs

Students who study civil engineering may be interested in pursuing advanced degrees, including UMassD's PhD in Engineering & Applied Science.
