Smart Cities
Many of the systems that civil and environmental engineers design, build, and maintain are going through a revolution involving the adoption of technological advances.
Our department includes traditional academic and research areas in civil and environmental engineering at UVA such as transportation engineering, environmental engineering, water resources engineering, structural engineering, and construction engineering. We also have three interdisciplinary research areas, described below, that emphasize new perspectives and priorities in civil and environmental engineering for addressing pressing societal challenges.
