The Civil Engineering program at UT Permian Basin prepares students to shape the future of infrastructure in West Texas and beyond. As demand for skilled civil engineers continues to rise—especially in Texas, one of the nation's top employers for this field—our curriculum is uniquely tailored to meet the needs of state and regional industries. UTPB's Civil Engineering curriculum combines rigorous classroom instruction with hands-on laboratory experiences, giving students practical skills in surveying, materials testing, and computer-aided design.
Students benefit from the program's strong connections to local industry partners, providing valuable internship opportunities and real-world project experience throughout West Texas. Graduates emerge ready to address critical infrastructure challenges facing growing communities, including sustainable development, water management in arid environments, and resilient structural design suited to the unique geological conditions of the Permian Basin region.
