Investigate. Innovate. Transform.

Civil and environmental engineering is a people-serving field. As civilization becomes more complex, civil and environmental engineering becomes more interdisciplinary and practitioners need to know about more than just fundamental design and construction principles.

Strategic Areas of Research
