overview

The department offers specialization in architectural engineering, construction engineering management, environmental, geotechnical, materials, structural and water resources engineering. All of the department’s programs prepare graduates to provide leadership in their careers by providing a strong foundation in the fundamental and applied engineering principles. Program faculty have diverse backgrounds including civil, environmental, mechanical, aerospace, architectural, and chemical engineering. All programs include strong design and research components, while having the flexibility to tailor curricula to individual needs. Faculty in all programs collaborate extensively with faculty and researchers from other departments, at Missouri S&T and elsewhere. The Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering Department’s motto is “Change the World,” and through our cutting edge educational programs and research, our graduates are well prepared to meet that goal.

Recent and ongoing funded graduate student research includes: advanced infrastructure materials, natural hazard mitigation for structures, smart cities, river mechanics, constitutive modeling of reinforced and prestressed structures, blast- and impact- protection of critical infrastructure, real-time instrumentation of civil infrastructure, phytoremediation of organic contaminants, aerosol generation and transport, compact low-energy wastewater treatment, green infrastructure, sustainable pavement systems, nanomaterials design and use in infrastructure, durability of concrete, climate adaptation of infrastructure, remote sensing for geo engineering and environmental assessments, and 3D printing of infrastructure materials.
