Hear from our grads
The professional networking opportunities in the civil engineering program were very apparent from my first semester! Many professors bring in companies to talk about their work, and those same professors directed me to student organizations that helped me to land my first internship. I have interned with the same company every summer since and will be continuing my full time work next year!”
