The educational mission of CEREC is to provide experiential learning opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students for the development of engineering intuition and fostering of fundamental understanding.  This is accomplished through hands-on lab experiences in core civil engineering subjects (structural materials, concrete design, steel design, etc.) and student participation in research activities.  Connecting classroom theory and design with real-world structural behavior and performance allows CEREC to provide a next-level education to the engineering leaders of tomorrow, today!
