Civil engineers are concerned with some of the most pressing problems of our world, including structures and infrastructures, water, environment and sustainable solutions to energy needs.

The IAU undergraduate program prepares students to face these tremendous challenges by providing a sound education in math, physics, and science and engineering fundamentals, all while emphasizing hands-on design projects and case studies that supply context and motivation. Students are taught how to combine theory, measurement and modeling to develop a good understanding of the problems at hand and point the way to desirable solutions.

The three IAU undergraduate degree of civil engineering includes a common core, usually taken in the sophomore year that includes subjects in ecology, mechanics, mathematics and engineering design. In the junior and senior years, students build on the core by taking more specialized subjects in their chosen degree tracks.

This program provides a solid foundation for practice in both classical and newly developing areas of civil engineering, including structural analysis and design, engineering materials, geotechnical analysis and design, sustainable built environments, and transportation and logistics. It also provides a solid foundation for graduate studies and a direct transition to the Master of Engineering program.

The IAU engineering design sequence introduces lab courses to design in a supportive team-oriented environment.

Students in the senior engineering design class also design and build projects.

Our departmental unit requirements are among the lowest in the School of Engineering, providing flexibility for students who wish to have a minor as well as a major, study abroad and pursue interests outside engineering.
