Student Life

CEE is full of opportunities for learning, leadership and camaraderie. There are a number of fun and educational ways to get involved!

Students in the Civil and Environmental Engineering department have the opportunity to work with world renowned faculty, such as Professor Victor Li, who developed bendable concrete, and Professor James Wight, who has been recognized by the House of Representatives for his leadership of the American Concrete Institute.

CEE students are involved with more than 10 student groups. Whether you are interested in concrete canoes, steel bridges, environmental preservation or something entirely different, chances are there is a CEE organization that will welcome your specific interests. One of our newest organizations is the Theme Park Engineering Group.
