以普林斯顿大学为例
普林斯顿大学工程与应用科学学院(School of Engineering and Applied Science)下设6个分部，分别是：土木工程与环境工程 Civil and Environmental Engineering, 化学工程Chemical Engineering, 计算机科学Computer Science, 电子工程Electrical Engineering, 机械与航天工程Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering ，金融项目工程Operations Research and Financial Engineering.
土木工程与环境工程课程简介：
专业围绕着建筑环境的设计与分析展开，包括：建筑，桥梁，能源设施和其他社会建筑的总体规划。专业还分析人类行为对自然环境的影响和环境保持的长久解决计划。所以，土木，环境工程师是为平衡建造环境与自然环境的解决方案提供科学和技术支持的专业人士。专业理论基础是建立在人类及社会对自然环境的影响，建筑发展计划的分析，相关法规等方面上。在普林斯顿，学生将在以下不同的相关领域展开学习和研究：
Civil and Environmental Engineering focuses on design and analysis of the built environment, including buildings, bridges, energy facilities, and other aspects of society's infrastructure. Civil and environmental engineers also analyze the impacts that human activity has on the natural environment and develop solutions that lead to environmental preservation. As such, civil and environmental engineers connect the built environment to the natural environment and provide environmental stewardship with a strong foundation in science and technology. This technology-based stewardship of the built and natural environments is strongly coupled with humanistic and societal concerns, including analysis of policy issues and development of regulatory frameworks. At Princeton, students in Civil and Environmental Engineering are educated through five different programs of concentration, which are described below. For more information, please contact our Departmental Representative, James Smith, or Undergraduate Coordinator, Tiffany Sirois.
土木工程与环境工程专业的五个领域(专业分支)
建筑工程，本科Architecture and Engineering：
工程分析，特别是建筑结构和环境系统，是当代建筑环境学的重要组成部分。这个课程是由土木环境分部与建筑学院合作教学，提出了一个独特的学习机会去整合与结合这两个学院的工程和建筑设计课程。它是特别为计划在建筑系毕业的后从事建筑师或规划师工作与实践学生而设立。Engineering analysis, particularly for the siting of buildings and the design of their structural and environmental systems, is a vital component of contemporary architecture. This program, offered jointly by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the School of Architectureu, presents a unique opportunity to integrate engineering and architectural design by combining the curricula of the two schools. It is designed particularly for students planning to do graduate work in architecture or to practice engineering in collaboration with architects and planners.
环境工程，本科Environmental Engineering
环境工程本科课程是为在环境(工程，法规，商业运作，药学)领域感兴趣的学生开设的，而且为相关的环境工程研究生专业打好基础。课程重点放在：分析工程，工程解决方案，以及通过对环境问题的研究，提出对基本水文，环境科学，环境工程设计相关的解决方案。
The Environmental Engineering program is designed for students who wish to pursue a career related to the environment (engineering, law, business, or medicine) and for students who wish to continue on to advanced graduate studies in environmental engineering or a related earth science discipline. Course work in environmental engineering focuses on the analysis of, and engineering solutions to, environmental problems through combined study of the fundamental hydrological and environmental sciences and environmental engineering design.
地质工程，本科Geological Engineering
地质工程是对地质土壤环境，组成结构，自然资源的科学问题的展开研究的学科。课程由土木环境工程部与地质科学部合作教授。是专为希望大一，大二后，以数学和工程学课程为基础，毕业成为一个在地球科学研究领域大展拳脚的学生而开设。Geological Engineering is the application of science to problems and projects involving the Earth, its physical environment, earth materials, and natural resources. The curriculum is offered in a cooperative effort between the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Department of Geosciences and is specially designed for the student who wishes to build upon the freshman and sophomore mathematics and engineering courses as a basis for studies in the earth sciences.
结构工程，本科Structural Engineering
结构工程关注的是分析与设计以下设施：建筑物，桥梁，体育场馆，水坝，重点民用工程。课程重点是结构抗震设计及风荷载。其基本目标是，给予灵活和创新的研究生可以解决现代工程的新问题的一个打好基础本科学业的机会。毕业生有机会直接与最好的设计和结构工程公司联系并从事相关设计工作。Structural engineering is concerned with the analysis and design of civil engineering structures with an emphasis on buildings, bridges, stadiums, dams, and foundations. Particular emphasis is given to the design of these structures to resist earthquake and wind loads. Its basic aim is the preparation of flexible and innovative graduates who can address the novel problems of modern engineering. Students in this program have the chance to directly interact with some of the best design and consulting companies in structural engineering.
人文工程，本科Engineering and the Liberal Arts
这一方案是专为学生取得，医学，法律，公共政策，视觉艺术，或在工程方面：材料，伦理，历史等一个范围广泛的基础性工程的教育背景而设立。课程是结合学生兴趣与课业主题并取得一致的方式来设计地。虽然课程设计是严谨的，但同时允许一定的灵活性，适合学生在学习过程中的广泛摄取相关知识。This program is designed for students who wish to obtain an engineering background as a foundation for a wide range of careers, such as medicine, law, public policy, visual arts, or engineering studies in materials, ethics, or history. Coursework in this track should integrate engineering courses in a coherent manner with the topic of interest to the student. The track is designed to be rigorous, yet allow for a wide degree of flexibility in the course of studies.
