Civil Engineering

Civil and Architectural Engineering and Construction Management

Civil engineering students learn about infrastructure and the technical aspects of urban and rural land development, in preparation to become a Professional Engineer. Civil engineers design roads and bridges, municipal water systems, sewer systems and wastewater treatment plants, dams and irrigation channels, excavations and slope-stability projects. Many civil engineers have the opportunity to work outdoors, and there are Civil Engineering jobs in small counties as well as big cities. At the University of Wyoming, the Civil Engineering faculty work on cutting-edge subjects such as Intelligent Transportation Systems and large-scale groundwater modeling.
