Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Civil Engineering] From University of Vermont

The curriculum from the Civil Engineering program offered by University of Vermont is embedded with several courses that meet the University's Sustainability (SU) requirement. The degree as a whole also meets the Sustainability requirement, as approved by the University's Sustainability Curriculum Review Committee.

A systems approach to engineering problem solving is central to the curriculum and involves integrating the short and long-term social, environmental and economic aspects and impacts into sustainable engineering solutions. Hands-on and/or project-based learning are incorporated into each year of the curriculum. As part of this approach, service-learning projects with local communities and non-profit groups are featured in some courses.

Other aspects of the program include opportunities for laboratory and research experience, integrated information technology content, development of communication skills, and a sense of community between students and the faculty.

A Civil Engineering degree is excellent preparation for immediate employment in consulting firms, government agencies, non-profits, and industry. Additionally, many graduates continue their education at the graduate-level.
