Department of Civil Engineering

Alabama A&M University

MISSION STATEMENT

The Department is committed to preparing its students for immediate entry into the engineering profession as well as into graduate programs of study. The Department is also committed to research in order to place its faculty and students at the forefront of development in the profession of civil engineering. This brings the latest advances into the classroom positioning students to lead the profession into the twenty-first century. The program offers opportunities to students who previously had limited access to education and trains these students to contribute to the civil engineering profession. It thereby reflects the University’s scope and mission.
