Civil Engineering Program
The Department of Civil Engineering is home to Wentworth’s Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering degree and the Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering degree. The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. The department also offers minors in Civil Engineering and in Environmental Engineering to non-civil engineering majors and other qualified students. Civil engineering students in the Bachelor of Science program may also concentrate their civil engineering elective courses in the areas of geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering or site development/project management.
Civil Engineers are entrusted by society to create a sustainable future and enhance the quality of life for individuals and communities as planners, designers, contractors, and operators of one of society’s economic and social engines—the built environment. They serve as stewards of the natural environment and its resources, as innovators and integrators of ideas and technology across public and private sectors, and as leaders in discussions and decisions shaping public, environmental, and infrastructure policy.
