Message from the Chair
Dear Friends of Civil and Environmental Engineering,
I am pleased to report to you that our Civil Engineering program
continues to make significant improvements in rankings. In its 2019 rankings, College Factual placed us at No. 2 in the nation, lifting us
six places from last year, landing us behind Georgia Tech (1) and ahead of MIT (3), on the list of the 206 programs evaluated. I attribute our place near the top of a list of excellent schools to our dedicated students, faculty, staff and alumni, who work around the clock to make our program better year after year. I'm also pleased that the ranking acknowledges the overall quality of the program, taking into account the success of students both on campus and after graduation.
College Factual's metrics include the caliber of the student body, educational resources and graduation and retention rates, as well as post-graduate earnings, among others. These measures take into account the overall success of a graduate's educational and career life-cycle. Also, for the third straight year, College Factual ranked us No. 1 in the nation for civil engineering programs for veterans. The sustained ranking signifies that CEE is also dedicated to providing quality educational outcomes to veterans, active-duty military students and their families.
I invite you to read over some of our recent news through this CEE Winter 2019 Newsletter. As always, I sincerely appreciate and welcome your support of our department's academic, research and service initiatives.
Happy Holidays and an upcoming New Year 2019!
Sincerely,
Taha F. Marhaba, P.E., F.ASCE
