The College of Engineering - Civil & Environmental Engineering

Message from the Chair

Welcome to the Website of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rowan University. The discipline of civil and environmental engineering is surely poised to take center stage in the 21st century as infrastructure; energy and the environment are on every nation’s priority list. In 2008, the National Academies of Engineering released 14 Grand Challenges of Engineering for the 21st Century (Engineering Challenges). Our Department at Rowan is actively engaged in providing enriching experiences via our innovative curriculum to prepare our students to attack these engineering challenges. Here at Rowan we have established an excellent CEE program that is student centered and ready to meet the global demands of the 21st century. The CEE program’s research and teaching activities are arguably at their best .We have brand new research laboratories in the South Jersey Technology Park, a new Masters in Engineering Management Program and new research students in our traditional Masters program. Yes, “New” is the key word for the coming years as the CEE program poises itself to become the best in the nation. Our graduates are highly successful in the workplace as evidenced by employer feedback and job placement. We have unique opportunities for students in green engineering, community engagement as well as service learning. This website will help you discover the incredible contributions that the current students, alumni and faculty are making to move the program to “new” and exciting heights.

These are exciting times for our program and the engineering field and I am extremely proud and fortunate to be a part of these phenomenal times.
