Engineers are responsible for designing much of the human environment we use every day. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the fields of civil engineering, environmental engineering and architectural engineering. Roads, bridges, buildings, water resources, air quality and more: these all play an increasingly important role in our lives.
The degree programs offered through the department and leading research prepare KU students to have a well-designed and positive impact on the world around them. Both undergraduate degrees offered by the department are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
The department's alumni leave the university prepared for success in this dynamic environment. A few of our graduates include:
The department boasts a vibrant faculty that includes Distinguished Professor Stanley Rolfe, one of the two members of the National Academy of Engineering at educational institutions in Kansas. (The other is one of our esteemed colleagues in KU's Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering.)
With its proud history, the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering is always ready to step into new territory and provide innovation for generations to come.
