Civil, Environmental & Architectural Engineering is the conception, design, and construction of the built environment – the materials and structures that are all around us every day. WPI experts on civil engineering are available to discuss the field, how the effects of climate change continue to increase, and how sustainable infrastructure and protecting the earth’s resources are also key to the field. In fact, according to the U.S. Green Building Council, buildings account for nearly 40% of all greenhouse gas emissions, showing the need for Civil, Environmental & Architectural Engineering to focus on sustainable design and sustainable infrastructure, as well as protecting environmental resources. Civil, Environmental & Architectural Engineering also includes a public health aspect and involves protecting the safety of drinking water and sanitation.
