Want to Save the World?

We'll Show You How.

We develop software to predict the path and damage of wildfires through communities. We research how changing the flow of a river contributes to the demise of an invasive fish species. We design buildings to withstand earthquakes. We revolutionize wastewater monitoring to prevent the next pandemic outbreak.

Civil, construction, and environmental engineering surrounds us. As our planet changes and the population increases, we are called to challenge the status quo by predicting and addressing the issues of our future reality. You can too.

 

See For Yourself: Take a Tour

Choosing which university to attend often comes down to where you feel most at home. Visit us to experience everything we love about our department, our campus, and the Fort Collins community.

There is so much you can do within civil engineering, it’s everywhere. I love to be challenged. I love being able to make a change in people’s lives, like being a superhero behind the scenes.

For a Global Society.

Our research improves society by working toward more environmentally sustainable civilizations, building resilient infrastructure systems, and developing strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

We contribute through three strategic research focus areas: Environmental and Energy Systems, Infrastructure Systems, and Water Engineering and Science.
