Undergraduate degree programs
Engineering the systems that shape our world
Build, manage and sustain the infrastructure and environments communities rely on every day.
From clean water and air to resilient infrastructure and the built environments we move through daily, engineers in these disciplines design and manage the systems that support modern life.They work on challenges that affect communities at every scale, including protecting natural resources, improving public health, advancing sustainable development and delivering the construction projects that keep cities growing.
At ASU, you’ll learn through hands-on design experiences, field-based learning, research opportunities and strong partnerships with industry and public agencies across the Phoenix metro area. You’ll collaborate with faculty who are leading advancements in environmental protection, civil infrastructure, construction engineering and construction management, gaining the technical foundation and applied skills needed to solve complex, real-world problems.
Degree options
We offer civil engineering, civil engineering (sustainable engineering), construction engineering, construction management and technology, and environmental engineering as BSE or BS degrees.
Civil engineering, BSE
Design the structures and systems that shape everyday life. What if you could help build safer roads, stronger buildings or more sustainable cities?
In ASU’s civil engineering, BSE program, you’ll study the engineering principles behind transportation systems, water resources, structural design and sustainable urban development. Through hands‑on projects and research opportunities, you’ll learn how to design and improve the infrastructure that supports communities for generations to come.
Civil engineering (Sustainable Engineering), BSE
What if the next breakthrough in sustainable cities or resilient infrastructure started with your ideas?
In ASU’s civil engineering (sustainable engineering), BSE program, you’ll learn how to design systems that improve quality of life while reducing environmental impact. You’ll study core civil engineering principles alongside advanced approaches in sustainability, life‑cycle assessment and resilient design — preparing you to build infrastructure that supports both people and the planet.
Construction engineering, BSE
Engineer the infrastructure that keeps communities moving.
In ASU’s construction engineering, BSE program, you’ll blend civil engineering design with construction management expertise to plan and deliver major infrastructure projects. You’ll gain experience with real construction environments, learn from industry‑engaged faculty and prepare for a career at the intersection of engineering innovation and on‑site execution.
Construction management and technology, BS
Lead the teams that build the world around us. What if the next skyline‑shaping project had your name behind it?
In ASU’s construction management and technology, BS program, you’ll learn how to plan, coordinate and manage complex construction projects from start to finish. With deep industry connections, hands‑on learning and access to internships across the Phoenix metro area, you’ll graduate ready to lead teams, manage budgets and deliver the buildings and infrastructure communities depend on.
Also available online
Environmental engineering, BSE
Protect the systems that protect the planet. What if the solution to cleaner air, safer water or healthier ecosystems starts with you?
In ASU’s environmental engineering, BSE program, you’ll learn how to design technologies and systems that reduce pollution, restore natural environments and support sustainable communities. You’ll build a strong foundation in chemistry, biology and engineering while working on real challenges in water treatment, air quality, waste management and environmental remediation.
