These facilities can be large and complex, thus requiring the civil engineers to be broadly trained and able to deal with the latest technologies. The goal of the Civil Engineering Program at Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico is to develop in the students a professional knowledge of the technology needed to enter into these highly competitive fields and to prepare the graduates to pursue a productive civil engineering career that is characterized by continued professional growth. The student develops the ability to apply pertinent knowledge to the practice of engineering design in the major discipline areas of civil engineering: Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Highway and Transportation Engineering, Water Resources and Environmental Engineering, and Construction Engineering. This engineering design experience is built upon the fundamental concepts of mathematics, basic sciences, engineering sciences, and the humanistic and social sciences. This will provide civil engineers with a healthy self-image, a well-rounded knowledge of their role in society, the ability to communicate and to develop their creativity to apply engineering design with originality. The graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Program will have the theoretical and conceptual knowledge, the capability to use modern technologies effectively, and the basic technical skills to successfully work as engineers, to pursue graduate studies, to become engineers in training, and to continue their professional development and education on their way to become practicing professional civil engineers with a sense of social responsibility.<\/p><p>Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/pupr.edu\/orlando\/undergraduate-programs\/civil-engineering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Civil Engineering Program page<\/a> to learn more.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1932\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Environmental Engineering Program<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1932\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1932\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><h2>Environmental Engineering Program<\/h2><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The Environmental Engineering Program leads to the Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Engineering.
