Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Imperial College London
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is the academic department at Imperial College London dedicated to civil engineering. It is located at the South Kensington Campus in London, along Imperial College Road. The department is currently a part of the college's Faculty of Engineering, which was formed in 2001 when Imperial College restructured. The department has consistently ranked within the top five on the QS World University Rankings in recent years.
The department is housed in the Skempton Building, named after the English civil engineer Sir Alec Skempton, the former head of the department. The departmental building changed its name from Civil Engineering Building to its current name in 2004, a short time after Skempton's death in 2001.
In 1884 the Central Institution of the City & Guilds of London Institute, later the City & Guilds College, appointed a professor, William Unwin, to teach civil and mechanical Engineering, the first teaching in the subject at the predecessors to Imperial College. In 1904, the department was taken over by William Dalby, who held the position until a separate civil engineering department was formed.
From 1913 when the Department of Civil Engineering was separated, the Heads were:
The department currently consists of 6 main Sections:
Each section has its own head and laboratories. Research carried out in the department covers experimental, analytical, computational and theoretical work. Additionally, field research is conducted, especially in the Environmental and Geotechnical Engineering sections. Each section is responsible for their postgraduate courses, taught and non-taught. The department also houses the Laing O'Rourke Centre for Systems Engineering and Innovation.
The college ranked 10th in the world for engineering in the 2018 Times Higher Education subject rankings, and the department in particular ranked 3rd in the world, and 2nd in the UK after Cambridge, in the 2018 QS World University Rankings. Domestically, the department ranked 2nd on the Complete University Guide's 2019 civil engineering table, and 1st on The Guardian's 2019 civil engineering university subject rankings.
The department offers both undergraduate and postgraduate level studies, as well as a number of short courses for practising engineers.
