Welcome

X. Sharon Huo, Professor and Interim Chairperson

Welcome to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Tennessee Technological University. As one of the largest civil engineering undergraduate programs in Tennessee and one of the most vibrant graduate programs in the region, the CEE undergraduate and graduate programs enjoy an excellent reputation. We have educated outstanding engineers, researchers and educators since the department was established. Graduates of our program have developed successful careers and served in leadership roles throughout the state, region, and nation.

The CEE undergraduate program is an Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accredited program with the most recent accreditation granted in 2003. Our curriculum provides a strong foundation in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and engineering mechanics. During the last two years of the student’s undergraduate program, the student develops more in-depth expertise in selected areas of emphasis, including transportation, construction materials, structural design, structural mechanics, environmental, and water resources.

The Department offers the Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering including a combined BS/MS fast-track program. The Doctor of Philosophy degree in Engineering is offered through the College of Engineering with a major area of study in civil engineering. Active research programs in each of the major focus areas complement our graduate program. A significant number of graduate research and teaching assistantships funded through externally sponsored research, departmental resources, and affiliations with TTU research centers are awarded competitively.

The CEE faculty is determined to continue to provide an outstanding education in civil engineering. We encourage you to learn more about our program and what TTU Civil and Environmental Engineering can do for you!

Sincerely,

X. Sharon Huo, Ph.D., P.E.

Professor and Interim Chairperson
