Civil and environmental engineers design, construct, and maintain
the built environment in which we live and work. Projects range
from the tallest skyscrapers and soaring bridge spans to tunnels
and underground powerhouses. Our graduates work ensure efficient
transportation of people and goods on the highway system, by rail,
by ship, and by air. We manage scarce water resources, and we design
and operate systems to protect public health, water quality, and
the environment. We use advanced civil engineering materials and
system analysis methods to manage and renew the civil infrastructure.
Civil engineers design spacecraft and are involved in exploration
of the Moon and Mars. Computing, information technology, wireless
communication, and modern measurement and sensing technology are
revolutionizing civil and environmental engineering. Demands for
improvements to civil infrastructure are ever-present because of
population growth and deterioration and obsolescence. The infrastructure
must also be protected against natural and man-made hazards such
as earthquakes, landslides, floods, fires, and explosions, and it
must be designed and managed to minimize impacts on the environment.
National Ranking

The Department
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has fifty
full-time faculty members and twenty-five staff dedicated to the
education of more than 250 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 Berkeley campus is an exciting place in which
to learn and seek opportunities.
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 exciting local civil
and environmental engineering projects and participate in professional
activities.
