Introduction
Civil Engineering is the oldest and broadest engineering discipline, concerned with the development of the built environment. This encompasses various infrastructure components that modern civilization requires for existence. Buildings, bridges, and dams are some of the structural components designed by Structural Engineers. Water Resource and Environmental Engineers manage planning for water treatment facilities, water resources, waste disposal, and environmental remediation. Transportation engineers design roads, highways, airports, light-rail systems, waterways and canals, and railroad systems. The Geotechnical engineers do the development of foundations for buildings, studying the mechanics of soil, foundation design, and earthquake mitigation. Civil Engineering is an intensely exciting profession that prepares you to potentially design and built possibly the largest to the smallest human-made structures.
The Civil Engineering Division at WT focuses on a collaborative, hands-on approach to education and research and emphasizes real-world applications. Civil Engineering faculty at WT engages with industry and government on a broad range of research topics relevant to environmental study, structural, transportation, geotechnical engineering, water resources, and sustainable development and mechanics.
