Particularly at this time, civil and environmental engineering are exciting and challenging careers. The profession of civil and environmental engineering is becoming even more critical than at any other time in our nation’s history as our society tackles the ever increasing demands on our infra-structure and security. Civil engineers have shaped our country and communities in the past and continue to do so today. Our nation’s infrastructure includes our public utility systems; our transportation systems, including the interstate highways; and the maintenance and repair of our airports, schools, and government facilities. Civil engineers are actively involved in designing buildings to withstand threats from those who would attack our safety and freedom. There has never been a more exciting time to become a civil and environmental engineering student.

We can structure a program for you to coincide with your specific area of interest in the civil and environmental field. Our curriculum includes elective courses in the following areas: environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, hydraulic engineering, and structural engineering. In addition, we offer a minor in environmental engineering.

Our commitment to our students is to provide a first-class civil engineering education. With a degree from TSU, students will be well-prepared to “make their mark” in this rewarding field. They will be part of a profession that prides itself on enhancing the welfare of humanity. There is no better feeling than being able to contribute to making the world a better place for everyone.

Fawick Hall, the engineering building at TSU, has been completely renovated at a cost of $5 million. It houses the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering to include classrooms, laboratories, and computer centers. Fawick Hall is just one of many beautiful, outstanding facilities on the campus in Angola. Currently under construction, a new, $13.5 million University Center and Center for Technology and Online Resources will be one of the most unique and modern facilities of its kind in the nation. Underclassmen enjoy living in new, very modern, brick villas recently constructed on campus. Students say it is just like having their own apartment on campus! The University will be completing new residence facilities providing single rooms for all students by the fall semester 2007.

With a dedicated and highly motivated faculty, TSU civil and environmental engineering students enjoy small classes and a 100 percent job placement after graduation. Students will never be taught by graduate assistants at TSU. All classes are taught by faculty members whose first love is working with and teaching students. Neither will students ever be taught in large auditoriums at TSU; the largest classrooms on campus are for a maximum of 30 students. Currently, the job market for civil and environmental engineers is rated as one of the best in the nation. Many TSU graduates are now starting at salaries in the high $40,000 range. TSU also offers very successful cooperative program opportunities for those students interested in working their way through college. Summer internship opportunities are also available to students to obtain “real-world” engineering experience during their summer break from classes.

The major in civil and environmental engineering at TSU offers everything a student could possible desire in his/her educational experience: personal attention, quality programs, state-of-the-art facilities, cooperative and internship opportunities, job placement, and career success. Come to TSU, major in civil and environmental engineering, and you will never be sorry you made that decision!
