The intellectual focus of Civil and Environmental Engineering is discovery and innovation to sustain life and society in changing conditions, tackling some of the most urgent challenges of our time. We develop and apply pioneering approaches that range from basic scientific principles to complex engineering design, at scales from the nano to the global. Our department features two centers of gravity: infrastructure (broadly, what is created by human activity) and environment (broadly, what exists as natural systems). We seek a diverse group of applicants from a range of academic disciplines, who work together to contribute to exciting intellectual networks across the department and MIT.
