About CEE

Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) is one of the most diverse engineering disciplines, encompassing environmental and water resources engineering, geosystems engineering, public health engineering, and structural engineering. Civil and environmental engineers are responsible for the planning, design, construction, and operation of structures and facilities that are essential to the environment and infrastructure of a sustainable society. Traditionally these structures included buildings, highways, water and waste treatment plants, tunnels, airports, harbors, railroads, bridges, and dams. Today, civil and environmental engineers are involved in a wide range of engineered and natural systems that contribute to a modern society and protect the environment and public health. These activities include the development and testing of new materials, structural health monitoring and rehabilitation, management and protection of watersheds and water supplies, mathematical modeling of built and natural environments, bioremediation and exposure assessment....

In today's changing economy, the microwave and wireless engineering industry is moving away from traditional military applications and toward commercial opportunities. With the availability of relatively inexpensive microwave components and improved digital communications, these opportunities have few limits. Radar, satellite, wireless radio and optical communication, and collision avoidance radar are just a few areas, which utilize microwave technology.

In addition, computer hardware researchers and designers are finding that some microwave engineering concepts are necessary to develop faster computer circuits. As engineers explore low microwave frequencies and even lower radio frequencies, this technology will be applied to cable, broadcast, television, medical, and other commercial uses. The certificate program educates professionals in the exciting new uses of microwave and wireless technology, by preparing students through extensive lab and project work.... [-]
