The sun shines behind the Pew Sundial on the Engineering Quad in summer.

We discover and develop new knowledge and sustainable technologies that improve the practice of civil and environmental engineering in service to society. We educate future creators and innovators who will employ their grounding in science and engineering to become leaders in many spheres of society. 

We strive to create the knowledge necessary to transform the art and practice of civil and environmental engineering for all segments of society through sustainable and resilient systems and solutions. Central to this vision is the fostering of a new generation of leaders with the knowledge, creativity, and passion to aggressively pursue those opportunities.
