This guiding mission and purpose – where students could prepare for  meaningful roles in a changing society and achieve professional and economic advancement – remains just as relevant today. As such, diversity and inclusion are part of the day-to-day experience here and a  central component of our culture. Illinois Institute of Technology today is home to a diverse and global  student population; is committed to providing opportunities to enhance the diversity of its faculty and  staff; and strongly encourages applicants from all backgrounds to apply for this position, especially  those underrepresented in the field.

The department has 15  full-time faculty, 4 full-time staff, over 200 undergraduate students, and approximately 200 graduate  students. Among an array of recent investments, in 2020 the CAEE Department received a large gift from  Trimble to establish a state-of-the-art Technology Lab, expanding the university's expertise in civil and  environmental infrastructure, building construction field systems, and project controls and collaboration. The newly created Trimble Technology Lab allows Illinois Tech to integrate cutting-edge  technology into its curricula, empowering graduates to rapidly transform how buildings and living  environments are designed and constructed.
