Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering

The CCEE department welcomed 15 students from Lanzhou Jiaotong University in the People’s Republic of China’s Gansu Province to campus in June by hosting a picnic for the students. Nine other students from Lanzhou have been on campus since last year.

Iowa State’s CCEE department and Lanzhou Jiaotong University established a partnership in 2001 to create a dual-degree program in civil engineering. Since then, the CCEE department has enrolled students from China, engaged Iowa State faculty with education and research opportunities in China, and involved Iowa State engineering students in gaining a global perspective.

Students in the program complete the first two years of the curriculum at Lanzhou Jiaotong University. They finish their final two years at Iowa State. Once they’ve successfully completed the programs, they receive a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from both universities.
