Civil
Engineering is a broad field encompassing many specialties.
Michigan Tech civil engineering baccalaureate graduates are educated
to begin professional careers that apply a broad base of engineering,
science and communication skills to a variety of civil engineering
endeavors and to develop advanced competence in a few specialties.
As such, we expect that during the first several years following
graduation, our graduates will:
1. Function
as productive members of the profession and society with an understanding
of the social, ethical, environmental, economic and global ramifications
of their work as demonstrated by some of the following:
- Membership in professional organizations
- Community service
- Evidence of commitment to life-long learning
2. Successfully
apply their knowledge and skills to civil engineering practice
or to advanced education as demonstrated by some of the following:
- Entry level professional employment or full-time graduate
school;
- Conception, planning, design, management, construction
or operation of civil engineering projects;
- Successful advancement in position classification;
- Progress toward professional licensure;
- Earning graduate degrees and/or other professional certificates;
Environmental

- Earning graduate degrees and/or other professional certificates;
Our students have chosen Michigan Tech over other schools - many times
because of our reputation for providing a strong hands - on program.
Recruiters choose
our graduates for the same reason - they know a civil or environmental engineer from
Tech has a strong foundation and the skills to remain a lifelong learner.
The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Michigan Tech includes 25 faculty, 26 professional staff, over 90 full-time graduate students (33% are in doctoral programs), and close to 500 undergraduate students. Research funding exceeds $4.5 million per year. The graduate degrees Masters of Engineering (M.Eng.), Masters of Science (M.S.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and the undergraduate baccalaureate (B.S.) degree are offered in both Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering.
The department is housed in the new $44 million Dow Environmental Science and Engineering Building and the newly renovated Dillman Hall. U.S. News & World Report has ranked Michigan Tech's Environmental Engineering program as one of the nation's top programs. In addition, recent graduation figures show that our department ranks in the top 4 nationally in the number of undergraduate degrees awarded in Environmental Engineering and in the top 10 in undergraduate degrees awarded in Civil Engineering.
