General NEES Information

The Department of Civil Engineering
Offering degrees in Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering.
It is one of the five top-rated departments in the country.
- The Geotechnical Engineering Group
  Our instructional and research programs maintain a strong balance between the experimental, analytical, theoretical, and applied aspects of geotechnical engineering, a branch of civil engineering that generally deals with problems involving soil and rock. Examples include the design of foundations for structures, tunneling, disposal of waste products by burial in the ground, design of earth dams, and a variety of other similar topics.
The Jackson School of Geosciences
The new Jackson School of Geosciences will promote excellence in teaching and research in geology; geophysics; energy, mineral and water resources; as well as the broad areas of the earth sciences, including the Earth's environment at The University of Texas at Austin. It links the Department of Geological Sciences, the Bureau of Economic Geology, and the Institute for Geophysics.
