Civil & Environmental Engineering @ Rowan University

Civil & Environmental Engineering @ Rowan University

Current Students

As a student of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering, you will receive a world-class education. We are all about T.L.C. (Teamwork, Leadership, Community) at CEE.

We offer our students enriching opportunities to participate in student organizations, cutting-edge research, study abroad, and community service.

Students who demonstrate academic excellence and an outstanding record of extracurricular activities are inducted, by invitation, to the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society.

Advising

Meet with an advisor at least once a semester (more if you want). Your advisors can help you select courses, make career decisions and find academic support.

CEE First Year and Sophomore students should meet with the First Year and Sophomore Advisor for help with course scheduling and registration, as well as minors and academic support (Rowan Hall Room 106, perezcolon@rowan.edu). The First Year Advisor and College Program Advisor are one and the same. Check out the First Year advising website here, and the College advising website here.

CEE students who need information specific to CEE--e.g., career information--should see their CEE advisor.

Use GRAD (in Banner) to find your CEE advisor. If you cannot find them there, contact Casie Kopecky in the 110 CEE Administrative Suite, located at Rowan Hall (kopecky@rowan.edu). Get your CEE advisor's office location here.

Study Abroad

Exciting opportunities are available for students who want to pursue study abroad internationally for a summer semester. Our students have taken their general education classes abroad.

Study abroad is an enriching, memorable, and rewarding experience. If you are interested in pursuing study abroad please contact Dr. Kauser Jahan at jahan@rowan.edu. Students are strongly encouraged to plan their study abroad experiences as early as their first year.

Our students have studied abroad at:

  • Universidad Veritas in San Jose, Costa Rica
  • University of Granada in Spain
  • University of Sydney in Austrailia

Check out the University Education Abroad page for more information.

Competitions

Demonstrate and apply the knowledge they gain in class in competitions.

  • ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition - Design, build, and race a canoe made of high-tech concrete.
    • We've gone to the national competition 4 times!
  • AISC/ASCE Steel Bridge Competition - Design a bridge, fabricate the parts, and construct it under physical and time constraints.
  • ASCE 7-day High Strength Concrete Competition - Design and mix a high strength concrete.
  • Find a competition you're interested in winning and we'll help as much as possible!
  • Numerous Research Paper Competitions - Use knowledge gained in class and by working on clinic projects to win paper competitions.

Professional Societies

Learn about professional issues, make contacts with practitioners, get the inside track on scholarships, and participate in fun service projects and competitions. Most societies meet monthly, with presentations by local engineers, and food and drink. Get involved!

Service

Use your engineering skills to help out others.
