The Civil Engineering Programs at Arkansas State University are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. Civil engineering is the application of math, science, and engineering fundamentals for the benefit of society and the supporting infrastructure systems.
Civil engineers are involved in the following areas:
- Environmental Engineering (pollution control including the design of water and waste water facilities)
- Water Resources (study of the flow of water over land, under ground and storage)
- Transportation Engineering (design of highways and studies of traffic flow)
- Structural Engineering (design of building, bridges and other related structures)
- Geotechnical Engineering (study of soil behaviors, land slides and other topics)
The civil engineering program of Arkansas State University offers courses in all areas of civil engineering with a strong general education component. The faculty is involved in research, solving engineering problems in the community, consulting work. These experiences are brought into the classroom so students receive a well-rounded educational experience. This includes learning the engineering theory as well as the practical application of the theory to real world problems.
