Major Spotlight: URI offers Civil Engineering
From implementing smart transit systems, to designing wind farm foundations, to ensuring water quality, to crafting evacuation models, to creating safer bridges, URI's civil engineers provide the backbone of the world’s infrastructure. These students place an emphasis on global learning that bridges classroom knowledge with projects abroad.
Students work in teams during their senior year, carrying out all tasks that a professional civil engineering firm would perform while designing a major project. Student “companies” are provided with office space in the newly upgraded Senior Design Studio where they complete their projects and present their work in front of panels of professional engineers.
