Research

The Civil Engineering faculty actively participates in scholarly research activities. This helps us to be up-to-date in our areas of expertise and to incorporate research in teaching. Through research, we contribute to finding better ways of developing and managing our vital civil infrastructure systems, including transportation, water supply/distribution, and waste disposal.

Research is typically undertaken through the various research centers within the Civil Engineering department:

• Center for Construction Management Technology (CCMT)
• Transportation Research Institute (TRI)
• Urban ITS Center (UITSC)
• Urban Utility Center (UUC)

There are opportunities for students to join research teams in all the specialty areas of the Department, and all regular faculty are involved in research.
