Program Description

Civil engineering is a broad field that encompasses numerous sub-disciplines including structural engineering, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, water resources engineering, geosensing systems engineering, transportation engineering, and others. Because the jobs available in the field of civil engineering are so diverse, UH’s Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering degree is designed to offer students a broad base to prepare graduates for a variety of positions. In the junior and senior year students can personalize their degree by choosing civil engineering electives focused on a specific civil engineering sub-discipline or they can choose electives spread across multiple areas of civil engineering. Further specialization after the senior year is offered through graduate education where students can focus on specific aspects of civil engineering, environmental engineering, or geosensing systems engineering. Civil engineers find employment opportunities in both the private and public sectors. Career opportunities in civil engineering are excellent – especially in Houston, the Energy Capital of the World. Employment for civil engineers is expected to increase significantly, spurred by ongoing emphasis to improve our nation’s infrastructure.
