The Civil Engineering (CE) Program enables aspiring engineers to develop thinking, collaborative, and technical skills for solving complex civil engineering problems and to learn how to assimilate new knowledge needed for the design, construction, and maintenance of roads, bridges, buildings, water supply, irrigation, flood control, ports, and other infrastructure while considering impact in various contexts. The UST CE Program prepares individuals to engage in any field of civil engineering and, moreover, educates them in any of these specialized fields: Construction and Management Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Transportation Engineering, and Water Resources Engineering. All graduates imbibe the Thomasian Graduate Attributes that warrant their productivity and ethical participation in society and nation-building through academe, research, and industry practice.

Construction Engineering and Management Track
