Civil Engineering
Collection Development Policy Statement
Library's Collection Development Objectives
Support basic and applied research at the undergraduate, master's and Ph.D. levels, including studies of national and international importance with applications in major areas of engineering science, including environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation and water resources. The department's strong commitment to research is strengthened through involvement in projects with the Louisiana Water Resources Research Institute, the Hazardous Waste Research Center, the Remote Sensing and Engineering Processing Lab, the Institute for Recyclable Materials, and the Louisiana Transportation Research Center.
Curriculum Program Descriptions
Civil engineering is the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and physical sciences is applied to develop economic ways to utilize materials and forces of nature for the well-being of people and the environment. Environmental engineering students can develop expertise in water quality, air quality, water or wastewater treatment, and solid or industrial wastes. The department supports the Interdepartmental M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs in Engineering Science.

Areas of Specialization/Research
New and Expanding Areas of Interest
CD ROMs, Electronic Books, Remotely Accessed Texts
LSU Libraries will purchase CD ROM works on a case by case basis when requested by faculty members or graduate students in need of enhanced capabilities afforded by CD ROMs. The LSU Libraries recognizes that electronic information, e-books, electronic paper, etc. merit attention. The purchase of access to remote data and texts, such as J-STOR and others, will be pursued when the ownership of remote products will benefit the greatest number of students, staff, and faculty at the best possible price. Purchase of remotely accessed texts must follow the policy and procedures set forth in Procedures for Acquiring and Processing Electronic Resources.
