Coastal Engineering

Coastal Engineering addresses both natural and human-induced changes in coastal areas by using a mix of structural and non-structural protection methods. While beaches provide natural defenses against erosion, human development along the coast can compromise these protective functions.

Construction Engineering

Management and delivery of residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects; required to plan, supervise, and inspect construction.

Earthquake Engineering

Analyses the consequences of earthquakes on structures; designs and constructs structures to survive or reduce major damage from earthquakes.

Environmental Engineering

Protects humans from harmful environmental effects such as pollution and leakage; involves detecting harmful effects and tracing them back to their source.

Water Resource Engineering

Management, protection, and preservation of water; aims to improve water quality for recreational, commercial, and industrial uses.

Structural Engineering

Ensures buildings don’t fall down and bridges don’t collapse; focuses on the framework of structures as a specialty within civil engineering.
