Introduction
“Civil and environmental engineers are the doers responsible for improving living standards and serving communities in which we live. They grapple with many challenges such as overcrowded roads and highways, functionally obsolete bridges that are unable to carry today’s heavier loads, crowded urban areas and communities, contaminated groundwater aquifers, and air pollution. We seek ways to solve these problems better, faster and cheaper. With these challenges come the rewards and pride in making contributions to society.” — Balasingam Muhunthan, CEE Department Chair and Professor
