NC State’s Department of Civil Engineering Renamed

The Department of Civil Engineering at North Carolina State University has been renamed the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering, effective May 2. The name change reflects the department’s graduate education and research programs in these three areas, as well as the B.S. degree in civil engineering, the B.S. degree in construction engineering and management and the B.S. degree in environmental engineering.

NC State has had a department of civil engineering since 1895. The current department is one of the largest in the nation, with more than 40 faculty members, more than 600 undergraduates and more than 200 graduate students, including 75 at the Ph.D. level.

Graduate students pursuing the master’s or Ph.D. degrees may concentrate in water resources and coastal engineering, computer-aided engineering, construction engineering and management, environmental engineering, geotechnical/geoenvironmental engineering, structural engineering and mechanics or transportation systems and materials. A distance education master of civil engineering is also available.
