Lincoln Memorial University's Civil Engineering program emphasizes hands-on learning through materials testing, design work, and field experience. Students can participate in organizations and competitions such as ASCE and the Steel Bridge team. The program is structured to support the path toward professional licensure, including preparation for the FE exam and guidance toward the PE license, with plans aligned to ABET accreditation standards.
Civil Engineering is a strong career path for individuals interested in working on a wide range of projects. It offers the opportunity to contribute to infrastructure that serves communities on a large scale. Civil engineers play a key role in improving quality of life by designing and maintaining essential systems such as bridges, buildings, transportation networks, and water resources.
Students build a close cohort and develop a strong professional network throughout the program. Learning is led by faculty who provide both instruction and advising. The curriculum includes lab work, materials testing, and design practice to reinforce concepts through application. Internship opportunities connect classroom learning to real-world experience, including placements with organizations such as TDOT.
The curriculum covers core areas of civil engineering, including Land Surveying, Construction, Structural Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, and Geotechnical Engineering.
