It’s no wonder why the civil engineering (CE) major is celebrating 50 years at the Academy. Since its inception as a major in 1973, CE has graduated approximately 25 cadets each year. Earning a CE degree from the Academy means:
- Being some of the most satisfied and in-demand professionals
- Applying to graduate school after 2 years of active duty service
- Millions of dollars in value of projects managed by civil engineers
First Class Cadet (1/c) Kaylon Farley’s favorite civil engineering memory was seeing the classroom experience brought to life during the MOLES trip.
“We traveled to Providence, RI, and got to see the behind the scenes life of a civil engineer who is helping build a bridge and doing other civil engineering tasks at this large construction site,” said Farley.
1/c Anna Carleton also loves the hands-on application of civil engineering at the Academy.
“My most fond memory thus far has been waking up early to pour concrete. Having the physical application of what we are learning in class helps enhance my learning in an enjoyable way,” said Carleton.
1/c Meghan Goulden reflects on the value of her civil engineering degree, preparing her to be a critical thinker and problem solver.
“The classes I have taken have enabled me to look at issues from multiple perspectives, collaborate with others, and apply the knowledge I already possess to the different situations at hand. These capabilities are important both as an engineer and an officer in the Coast Guard,” said Goulden.
