Course in - Civil and Environmental Engineering

Combine fundamental science (how natural and human systems work) with novel engineering (materials, design, logistics). Our faculty and students are testing, building, and scaling solutions to meet the pressures of climate change, food security, urbanization, and pandemics. Join us in advancing ecology, structures, smart cities, and global systems. We are creating smarter, better, faster infrastructure for everyone.

A shared purpose drives the MIT community: to make a better world through education, research, and innovation. We are fun and quirky, elite but not elitist, inventive and artistic, obsessed with numbers, and welcoming to talented people regardless of where they come from.

Founded to accelerate the nation’s industrial revolution, MIT is profoundly American. With ingenuity and drive, our graduates have invented fundamental technologies, launched new industries, and created millions of American jobs. At the same time, and without the slightest sense of contradiction, MIT is profoundly global. Our community gains tremendous strength as a magnet for talent from around the world. Through teaching, research, and innovation, MIT’s exceptional community pursues its mission of service to the nation and the world.
