Department of Civil, Environmental, and Biomedical Engineering

Civil, Environment, and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Hartford prepares you for rewarding careers that impact local communities and people’s lives. Our programs offer a solid mix of engineering, math and sciences, as well as humanities to give you a well-rounded educational experience.

In Civil and Environmental Engineering, you learn about the latest technologies and advancements for planning, designing, and constructing the built environment while protecting and restoring the natural environment. Through challenging real-world projects, you work cooperatively with industry professionals to gain a broad civil engineering background in the areas of structural, transportation, geotechnical, water resources, and environmental engineering. Our civil engineering graduates work for nationally recognized companies and local, state, and federal government agencies responsible for building and maintaining the foundation of our modern society and protecting the public.

In Biomedical Engineering, you focus on how the human body works, and the methods and procedures used to monitor and improve the health of individuals. You will learn to “speak the language” of both the engineer and the health professional and engage in real-world projects interfacing with local, regional and global based companies, agencies, health care providers and researchers. Our biomedical engineering graduates work with companies, universities, government agencies, and hospitals to maintain and develop health-related equipment, along with developing strategies by which to better understand the basis of health-related issues, and assist in the development of next-generation advances in the health professions.
