The Bachelor of Science Civil Engineering is a broad discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the infrastructure, such as buildings, roads, airports, railroads, bridges, water and wastewater treatment plants, landfills, dams, and canals. It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including structural engineering, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, construction engineering, materials engineering, transportation engineering, surveying, and water resources engineering. Civil engineering impacts lives on a daily basis and at all levels: in the public sector from the municipal to the federal levels and in the private sector from individuals to international companies. At Tennessee Tech University, the focus within civil engineering is on transportation engineering, construction materials, environmental engineering, water resources, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering and structural mechanics. Participation in student organizations, co-ops, and internships offer many opportunities for gaining valuable experience in the civil and environmental engineering field.
