review for accreditation through ABET.
The Department has active research programs in Coastal Engineering, Environmental
Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, as well as Structures and Construction Materials,
and Transportation. As one of only two comprehensive (Bachelors to PhD) civil engineering
programs within the State University of New York, the Department of Civil Engineering
at Stony Brook University is well poised to play a key role in addressing the critical
infrastructure challenges regionally and globally. It jointly directs the New York
State Center for Clean Water Technology with the School of Marine and Atmospheric

located 60 miles from New York City on Long Island's scenic North Shore. Our 1,040-acre
campus is home to 24,600 undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students and more than
13,500 faculty and staff, including those employed at Stony Brook Medicine, Suffolk
County's only academic medical center and tertiary care provider. The University
is a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities and co-manager
of nearby Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), a multidisciplinary research laboratory
supporting world class scientific programs utilizing state-of-the-art facilities such
as the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, the National Synchrotron Light Source, and
the Center for Functional Nanomaterials, and the New York Blue IBM BG/L+P supercomputer,
owned by Stony Brook and managed by BNL. Stony Brook is a partner in managing the
Laboratory for the Department of Energy, and is the largest institutional scientific
user of BNL facilities. As such, many opportunities exist for collaborative research,
