The Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering offers two bachelor of science degrees: civil
engineering and environmental engineering. The civil
engineering degree requirements include completion of one of
the emphases: construction, environmental,
structural, geotechnical, or transportation. The
environmental engineering degree requirements provide a background
in all of the major areas of environmental
engineering without specialization in any one area.
The civil engineering program at UW-Platteville
gives students a broad background in all areas of
civil engineering, while permitting specialization in the
senior year. Practical applications are emphasized with
sufficient theory so that the individual can grow with the future
as new materials, methods and designs develop.
The
program has outstanding laboratory and
computer facilities where all students gain valuable
hands-on practical experience. The use of computers is
integrated throughout the curriculum from freshman through
senior year to collect surveying information, analyze data, and
to develop plans for projects.
Civil engineers plan, design, and supervise construction
of facilities that serve people. These facilities
include highways that connect our nation's cities, airports
that serve travelers, bridges that span our rivers and
harbors, dams and levees that control floods and supply water
for cities, and wastewater treatment plants that protect
the environment. Civil engineers also work with architects
to design and supervise construction of buildings.
The civil engineering design process begins with
the accumulation and analysis of basic information about
a project. This information may include the topography
and geology for a highway; the flood history of a river
that must be bridged or dammed; population growth projections and water usage; laboratory analysis
of construction materials; or pollution surveys of air,
land and water. Using this information, civil engineers
apply their knowledge of science and engineering design to
meet a project's requirements, assuring its
successful completion.
Educational Goals and Objectives:
Goal Statement: Provide Students with a
professional practice-oriented educational background that will
enable them to enter and succeed in their future careers.
Specific Objectives for obtaining goal:
1. Enhance student ability to conceptualize, understand,
and apply mathematics, physical sciences, and engi
neering science to solve practical engineering prob
lems.
2. Enhance student ability to apply scientific principles to
gather, analyze, and interpret data.
3. Enhance studetn ability to effectively and accurately
communicate technical information orally and in
writing.
4. Enhance student ability to develop teamwork skills.
5. Enhance student ability to use state-of-the-art tech
nologies necessary for the professional engineering
practice.
6. Enhance student understanding of professional, legal,
ethical, and life-long learning responsibilities.

The University of Wisconsin-Platteville has developed
an environmental engineering program which provides
a balance between basic science, engineering science
and engineering design. The purpose of the curriculum is
to develop in each student a thorough understanding of
the underlying environmental principles in the basic
sciences along with practical applications in engineering design.
Although emphasis is placed upon learning the fundamentals, each student will be encouraged to
develop excellent technical and communication skills, become
a broadly educated, and a productive member of our society.
The environmental engineering program at the
University of Wisconsin-Platteville is designed to give students
a broad background in all areas of environmental engineering. These include water and
wastewater treatment, environmental and occupational health,
solid waste management, water resources, and
environmental chemistry. Completion of the program at
UW-Platteville provides a background in all of these areas.
Practical applications are emphasized with sufficient theory so
that the individual can continue to learn as new problems
are encountered and innovative solutions are needed.
Environmental engineering is the application of
scientific and engineering principles to improve and maintain
the environment for the protection of human health, for
the protection of nature's beneficial ecosystems
and biodiversity, and for environment-related enhancement
of the quality of human life. Through education
and experience, environmental engineers develop an understanding of the earth's biological, chemical,
physical, and geological systems. They use this information
to develop engineering plans for solutions to
environmental problems caused by pollution. They also
develop
pollution prevention plans to keep environmental
problems from developing in the first place.
Environmental engineers conduct studies of
streams, lakes, air, soil, and groundwater that are polluted
to determine the extent and severity of contamination.
These environmental measurements provide the basis for
engineers to design treatment and remediation processes
to remove and/or degrade pollutants.
Environmental scientists and environmental engineers work together
with city or county officials, regulatory officials,
consultants, and nearby residents to achieve a solution to
pollution problems.
Educational Goals and Objectives:
Goal Statement: Provide Students with a
professional practice-oriented educational background that will
enable them to enter and succeed in their future careers.
Specific Objectives for obtaining goal:
1. Enhance student ability to conceptualize, understand,
