From smart bridges that self-diagnose fatigue to urban drainage systems that harvest storm-water for reuse, CMU’s Civil and Environmental Engineering BS blends structural mechanics with environmental stewardship. Students design infrastructure within the LEED-Platinum ANSYS Hall, leverage Pittsburgh’s living transportation laboratory for data collection, and collaborate with policy scholars on equitable rebuild strategies after extreme-weather events. A junior-year ‘Global Design Studio’ sends teams to coastal cities worldwide to model climate-resilient waterfronts using digital twins and parametric optimization.
