Department Contacts
The College of Applied Science and Technology at RIT is home to four dynamic academic departments as well as Army and Air Force ROTC. We invite you to visit them as well as our Center for Electronics Manufacturing and Assembly to better understand all the exciting things we do here!
Civil Engineering Technology, Environmental Management & Safety
In its continued response to the highly-placed emphasis on our environment and the world in which we live, the college’s Civil Engineering Technology, Environmental Management and Safety Department assures that its graduates are poised to be the best when they go out in the world to build our communities and protect our environments! Together with faculty, students work on exciting projects and course-related work to truly embrace classroom theory through hands-on application. For example, civil engineering students build a canoe out of concrete (and it floats!) and environmental management safety students begin making valuable contributions to protecting our environment right away by working on sustainability projects!
