About CEE

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has fifty full-time faculty members and twenty-two staff dedicated to the education of more than 400 undergraduate students and 360 graduate students. The education in the department prepares students for leadership in the profession of civil and environmental engineering. Career opportunities are very strong because of the many pressing needs to improve and expand the infrastructure and protect the environment. Approximately one-quarter of our undergraduates pursue graduate education, one of the highest proportions in the College of Engineering.

The CEE laboratories for teaching and research are among the best in the nation, providing opportunities for hands-on experience for all students. In the San Francisco Bay Area, there are incomparable opportunities for students to experience ground-breaking local civil and environmental engineering projects and participate in professional activities.
