Ohio State University’s BS in Civil Engineering trains students to plan, design, and maintain essential infrastructure systems that sustain modern life. This includes roads, bridges, buildings, airports, water systems, and more. Students gain proficiency in structural mechanics, geotechnical engineering, hydrology, construction management, and transportation planning. The curriculum integrates sustainability, smart cities, and risk assessment, preparing students for licensure and leadership in engineering firms, municipal agencies, and environmental consultancies. The program includes hands-on labs, CAD and simulation software, and collaborative design projects addressing real-world problems.
