civil engineering is about community service, development, and improvement. it involves the conception, planning, design, construction, and operation of facilities essential to modern life: without civil engineering, things like transit systems, offshore structures, and space satellites would not exist. civil engineers are problem solvers, meeting the challenges of pollution, traffic congestion, drinking water and energy needs, urban redevelopment, and community planning. at the university of utah, an integral part of studies in the civil and environmental engineering department is an emphasis on environmental engineering. in addition to core courses in engineering, students also take a range of math, science, and technical courses, as well as general interest electives. through their coursework, students of the program learn how to apply physical, chemical, and biochemical processes to environmental problems, ultimately improving the quality of life across the globe.
