Civil engineering is often called the "people-serving profession." Virtually all that surrounds us, buildings, highways, dams, harbors, airports, bridges and tunnels, pipelines and water systems are designed and constructed by civil and environmental engineers. It is hard to imagine the modern world today without complex systems that supply clean water to cities, remove sewage, control floods, transport people and goods, and reduce negative environmental impacts of pollution, noise, hazardous waste, etc. Great opportunities will exist in the transportation engineering area, where new technologies that use `smart highways' and `smart cars' will revolutionize our ways of combating the increasing traffic in our cities. New fast trains are being developed to offer an alternative to automobiles. Civil and environmental engineering students face a program that is challenging, exciting, flexible and diversified. Because the engineer's work is predominantly intellectual and varied and not of a routine mental or physical character, the SDSU program places emphasis upon the mastery of a strong core of subject matter in the physical sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences. Woven through the pattern is a continuing study of the social sciences and humanities, because engineering graduates must expect to find their best expression as leaders, conscious of the social and economic implications of their decisions. Career Opportunities: Civil and environmental engineering is a growing profession, with excellent job opportunities in any foreseeable future. Career opportunities in all specialties are bright, and perhaps the best exist in environmental and transportation areas. Both the private and public sectors will be looking for a new generation of well-prepared civil and environmental engineers.
