The Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering is celebrating its Centennial year at the University of Florida! We are proud of our roots at the University of Florida and we continue to grow strong. Our graduates span the globe working in Construction Management, Coastal and Oceanographic Engineering, Geosensing Systems, Geotechnical Engineering, Hydrologic Engineering and Water Resources, Materials and Pavements, Structural Engineering and Transportation Engineering. Please click on the link to the left titled CCE 100 Years Strong to learn more about the history of our department, how we intend to celebrate this historical event, the Who's Who of Civil Engineering and how you can share your memories, stories, photos, etc. to make this an event to remember for generations to come!
Welcome to Civil & Coastal Engineering!
Dr. Kirk Hatfield, Interim Department Chair
The mission of the Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering is to deliver undergraduate and graduate degree programs that prepare Civil and Coastal engineers for successful careers in an increasingly global and interdisciplinary world, and to perform research that results in leading scientific contributions that have a direct impact on our ability to renew, secure, and broaden the capabilities of our nation's infrastructure, environment and homeland security.
CCE Undergraduate - Educational Objectives
The undergraduate Civil Engineering Program will produce graduates who:
- Advance to positions of increasing responsibility in the engineering profession
- Demonstrate competence in engineering design
- Proceed on the track towards attainment of a Professional Engineering license
- "Give back" to their profession and communities through participation in professional engineering societies (ASCE, NSPE) and/or other volunteer organizations
- Continue to pursue lifelong learning through the completion of an advanced degree and/or education credits (short courses, PHDs, etc.)
CCE Graduate - Educational Objectives
The graduate Civil and Coastal Engineering Programs will produce graduates who:
- Assume and/or advance to leadership roles in industry, government, and academia.
- Demonstrate in-depth knowledge and a high level of competence in a specialty area within Civil and Coastal Engineering
