Includes correspondence, minutes, reports, memoranda, work plans, photographs, and project files dating from 1896 to 2010 and relating to the establishment of the marine science curriculum, the Integrated Manufacturing Engineering Institute, and the Henry M. Shaw Lecture Series in Civil Engineering.
Civil engineering at North Carolina State University began as part of the Mechanics Course, which was first taught in 1889. In 1895 the Mechanics Course separated into civil engineering and mathematics when Wallace Carl Riddick became the first professor of civil engineering. Civil engineering became a separate department in 1906. The Engineers' Council for Professional Development (ECPD) accredited the civil engineering curriculum in 1937 and renewed the accreditation in 1949.

In 1895 the Mechanics Course separated into civil engineering and mathematics when Wallace Carl Riddick became the first professor of civil engineering. Civil engineering became a separate department in 1906. Civil, mechanical and electrical engineering continued to be housed in the Mechanical building until civil engineering moved to the Horticulture building.
Winston Hall (named for the college's President, George Tayloe Winston) was completed in 1910 to house chemical, civil, and electrical engineering. Around 1917 professor Harry Tucker developed a curriculum in highway engineering to meet the expanding needs of the state's highway system.
The Engineers' Council for Professional Development (ECPD) accredited the civil engineering curriculum in 1937 and renewed the accreditation in 1949.
In 2003, the Department of Civil Engineering became the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering. Currently the department is one of the five largest in the country. It offers undergraduate programs in computer-aided engineering; construction engineering and management; geotechnical/geoenvironmental engineering; structural engineering and mechanics; transportation engineering and materials; and water resources and environmental engineering. The department offers graduate programs in coastal and ocean engineering; computer aided engineering, construction engineering and management; geotechnical/geoenvironmental engineering, public works engineering/administration, structures and mechanics; transportation engineering and materials; and water resources and environmental engineering.
Additional information and resources on the history of the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering can be found through the NC State University Historical State website.

Copy of original diploma of Carrol Lamb Mann from the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. Signed at bottom by various members of the faculty.
Part of this series is comprised of web sites of North Carolina State University’s Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering, captured by the NC State University Libraries since August 2016 using the Internet Archive’s Archive-It web archiving service, with prior captures by the Internet Archive dating back to January 2015, which may be less complete and was performed at undetermined intervals.
The other part includeds a Youtube Video of a virtual tour of the CCEE campus in 2021.
This is the official website of the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering at NC State University. The NC State University Libraries has scheduled this website to be captured semiannually since August 2016. Also included here are prior captures by the Internet Archive dating back to January 2015.
Included is 1 MP4 file.
Pending staff review and approval, access to digital copies will be provided for use in the SCRC Reading Room upon request. Access may be restricted.
This collection is open for research; access requires at least 48 hours advance notice. Because of the nature of certain archival formats, including digital and audio-visual materials, access to digital files may require additional advanced notice.
