Our programs&nbsp;develop&nbsp;expertise in structural engineering (buildings, bridges, materials), environmental engineering (water quality, sustainability, water and wastewater treatment, hydraulics), geotechnical engineering (foundations, retaining walls, soil behavior, in situ and laboratory testing), and transportation engineering (intelligent transportation systems, traffic, pavements). Our students benefit from participation in paid internships, global exposure through the International Engineering Program, and real world experience through an immersive capstone project with industry partners in their senior year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"fullwidth\">Our faculty conduct pioneering research in physicochemical treatment of drinking water, microplastics, sustainable groundwater treatment technologies, water-climate links to global health, composite and cementitious materials, multi-hazard analysis and resilience modeling of coastal communities, structural and geotechnical health monitoring of offshore wind farms, and innovative foundations for floating offshore wind farms. There are many opportunities for students to engage in research and work in our state-of-the-art laboratory and field facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/cve\/academics\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/cve\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2172\/academics.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>Academics<\/h2><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container button\">view programs<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/cve\/people\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/cve\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2172\/people.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>People<\/h2><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container button\">meet the faculty<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/cve\/research\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/cve\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2172\/research.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>Research<\/h2><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container button\">explore topics<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recent News<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"display-posts-listing\"><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/cve\/masters-student-lands-dream-job\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/cve\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2172\/658A3618-2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/cve\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2172\/658A3618-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/cve\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2172\/658A3618-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/cve\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2172\/658A3618-2-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/cve\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2172\/658A3618-2-600x600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/cve\/masters-student-lands-dream-job\/\">Master&#8217;s Student Lands Dream Job<\/a> <span class=\"excerpt-dash\">-<\/span> <span class=\"excerpt\">It\u2019s no secret that an engineering degree often yields exciting and well-paid careers.
