Civil engineers design the structures people rely on every day and make sure they stay standing: buildings, bridges, tunnels, roads and the foundations beneath them.
In a seismically active region, the work carries extra weight. Students learn to calculate how structures behave under load, under the ground’s movement and over decades of use.
