As the CEE Department moves into the 21st century, we will continue to build upon our role as an important educator of civil engineers and environmental engineers in the State of New Jersey. Our main vision for the future is continuous quality improvement of students and faculty as NJIT advances in stature both regionally and nationally. Education of bachelor-level civil engineers remains a principal focus of the CEE Department, and to this end, we have established program objectives and outcomes. 

The Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering shares the four-pronged mission of New Jersey Institute of Technology: education, research, service and economic development.
