High School Preparation for a Bachelor's Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering

Students interested in the dynamic and diversified field of civil and environmental engineering should have strong high school preparation in mathematics (including freshman algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and first-level calculus) and physics, alongside competent written and verbal communication skills. You should have an intellectual curiosity about how things work, an ability to work in teams, an interest in helping people, and a concern for the nation's constructed facilities and public works and for the sustainability of the world's environment.
