Civil & Environmental Engineering Programs
Support NAU Civil & Environmental Engineering and Together We Will Build a Better World!

NAU Civil and Environmental Engineering programs give our students the skills and experiences they need to be ready to become leaders in engineering practice, public service, and academics. Our graduates are Practice Ready.


Your #AxeofKindness on NAU Giving Day will improve the reach and impact of these experiences. Here are some ways to contribute:

Civil & Environmental Engineering Student Experiences - This fund enables students to participate in professional conferences, field trips, workshops and competitions. 

Civil & Environmental Engineering Student Projects - Our students work on real-world projects in a variety of settings, from abandoned mine remediation in all parts of Arizona, to collecting water samples on the Colorado River, to conducting transportation studies in Phoenix. This fund helps ensure that students have the resources they need.

Environmental Engineering Fund - This year we are celebrating our 30th year as an ABET accredited Environmental Engineering program. We are one of the first dozen or so programs in the nation. This fund permits us to make sure that our program is constantly updated to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world.

We are proud of the dedication of our faculty and the hard work of our students.
