The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and Computer Science provides expertise in computational modeling and simulation of civil and environmental processes and systems. Students will be prepared for practice in the engineering and control of processes and systems vital for the sustainable development and management of civil and environmental infrastructure, as well as the fundamentals of program design, software development, and algorithms and data.
Computational and simulations-based approaches in engineering research and design practices have increased substantially in recent years in response to the rapidly increasing availability of data from remote and in-situ sensors as well as networked systems. Students who graduate with this combined major degree will have the breadth and depth of understanding and abilities to contribute to innovative and sustainable solutions to support global civil and environmental infrastructure demands.
