If you're a prospective student interested in pursuing a degree in Civil & Environmental Engineering, you've come to the right place! We have comprehensive pages for both undergraduate and graduate students, where you can learn more about our programs, faculty, research opportunities, and more. We encourage you to explore these pages and discover what makes Berkeley CEE a top choice for pursuing higher education.
The Civil & Environmental Engineering undergraduate major at UC Berkeley seeks to provide students with opportunities for rigorous academic learning, fellowship, hands-on experience, and leadership.
Professor Sanjay Govindjee is a co-author of Introduction to Mechanics of Solid Materials, a new book covering essential topics in engineering applications, including elasticity, plasticity and creep, and fracture and fatigue, with a target audience of 3rd and 4th year engineering and science students.
CEE Professors Tina Chow and Tom Kirchstetter are collaborating on a new EPA grant led by principal investigator Neeta Thakur at UCSF to improve estimates of health impacts from wildfire smoke.
Professor Dimitrios Konstantinidis teamed up with researchers across Europe to win an ERIES transnational access grant to conduct a full-scale shake table testing campaign at the Laboratorio Nacional de Engenharia Civil (LNEC) in Lisbon, Portugal.
Civil and environmental engineers build solutions to societal issues and foster a diverse community of perspectives that challenge conventional thinking. The activity of civil engineers addresses the need for well-constructed and functionally operating systems.
Congratulations are in order for CEE doctoral student Alexandra Pan on being named student of the year by the Telemobility University Transportation Center (UTC)! UTC is a consortium focused on Communications Technology and E-Commerce Effects on Travel Demand with Northwestern University, UC Berkeley, and the University of Texas, Austin.
Our Cal Construction team is back from Reno after competing in the annual Associated Schools of Construction student competition. The competition is visibly getting more challenging each year. About 1,700 students were there to compete in 17 tracks; of those, we had 80 CEE and Architecture Bears who competed fiercely in 11! The team's advisor is Professor Iris Tommelein.
In a sustainable future, a new UC Berkeley study led by CEE Professor Paolo D'Odorico reveals that it may not be every person for themself. Combining an online platform with a theoretical model, research from the UC Berkeley department of environmental science, policy, and management (ESPM) shows that cooperation toward a shared goal among individuals in a community can lead to the sustainable use of a "common-pool resource," a resource that is available to all despite its inherent scarcity.
