We are deeply committed to all members of our community-students, faculty, and staff. Our vision is to reimagine civil and environmental engineering through innovative leadership in education and research, integrating systems thinking and new technologies, and empowering a diverse community of socially conscious problem solvers to lead the world to a sustainable, resilient, equitable, and inclusive future. Our mission is to inspire and educate the next generation of engineers and to conduct engineering science and technology research that addresses important societal challenges. We strive to achieve this with the highest dedication to quality, integrity, and respect for others. We are particularly interested in applicants who are committed to and have a passion for fostering a culturally diverse environment in both research and teaching, and who are eager to strengthen the culture of inclusivity at CMU.
