Civil engineers work to enhance the quality of life for all people through designing and constructing society’s infrastructure, such as buildings, highways, pipelines, water systems and mass transit systems. They often are responsible for planning, managing, operating and maintaining these facilities. OU's civil engineering program works to train students to create these structures in the most innovative and cost-effective ways. With four areas of emphasis, environmental, geotechnical, structural and transportation engineering, and an excellent hands-on curriculum, OU civil engineering students are equipped with the unique edge needed to find a job upon graduation.
Civil engineering students typically have interests in:
High school preparation should include calculus, chemistry and physics.
OU civil engineering students develop skills through experiential learning by practicing what is learned in the classroom through real world experiences. Students are tutored and mentored by upper-classmen with opportunities to expand horizons through study abroad. With accomplished faculty and expert guest speakers, students are empowered through professional development and receive competitive advantages in pursuing future careers.
