Civil Engineering and Environmental Informatics
Overview
The Civil Engineering and Environmental Informatics program focuses on the scientific assessment and development of engineering solutions for civil engineering challenges with environmental impacts. These challenges include issues such as safe drinking water, wastewater treatment, solid and hazardous waste disposal, outdoor and indoor air pollution, transportation-related noise pollution, human and environmental health risk management, and pollution prevention through product or process design. Given the complexity of these environmental challenges and the vast amounts of associated data, informatics becomes essential for mastering methodologies and developing tools to transform complex big data into actionable insights.
The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and Environmental Informatics aims to prepare civil and environmental engineers capable of utilizing advanced modern technologies while developing the necessary hardware and software tools to predict and better manage environmental needs. The program emphasizes clean environments and the planning of green infrastructure in alignment with smart city concepts.
Graduates will develop critical analytical, decision-making, and data modeling skills, which are essential for the job market and for conducting ongoing research to solve complex environmental problems using appropriate tools, including artificial intelligence. They will be qualified to work in local and global multidisciplinary environments, addressing challenges in civil and environmental engineering by integrating contributions from engineers, scientists, lawyers, business professionals, and the public.
