SchoolHamm School of Engineering
Use your creativity to design, construct, and maintain physical and naturally built environments. Learn about engineering while gaining practical experience through hands-on activities. We value integrity and promote social, environmental, and ethical responsibility.
What You'll Learn
Our students learn how to be successful civil engineers through hands-on learning experiences in our new machine shop, student design center, and civil engineering lab. In addition to the fundamentals, our students learn to communicate effectively, work on multidisciplinary teams, and adapt to changing technologies. We encourage our students to be servant leaders, focusing on the needs of others, as they prepare for post-graduate work, including an advanced degree or professional certification or licensure.
- Learn by Real-life Examples
You’ll learn through a combination of lab work, design projects, and data-driven problem solving. Our faculty include as much hands-on application and practical examples as possible throughout the program, so you’ll be prepared for what happens in the real world.
- Make Valuable Connections
You’ll gain essential skills and make lasting professional contacts as you intern with companies, agencies, and organizations in Bismarck or around the region. The Hamm School of Engineering has relationships with over 50 companies, many of which offer paid internship opportunities.
- Create a Plan of Study that Works for You
Because of our flexibility and the personal attention we give our students, you’ll be able to create an academic plan that fits with your overall objectives and interests — from playing NCAA sports to studying abroad.

Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET)
The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Civil Engineering Program Criteria.
The best thing about the University of Mary engineering program is the faculty’s knowledge and enthusiasm to help their students learn. I learned relevant and useful skills that I’m already grateful for in the first year of my career. Professors passionately teach during the day and respond to emails at all times – morning, afternoon, and evening – to answer students’ questions.
Featured Faculty
Anthony Waldenmaier, PhD(c)
Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering
I grew up in Chicago and have lived in Minneapolis, Fargo, and now Bismarck. I have a passion for roads and pavement design as well as the soil beneath our infrastructure. I enjoy cooking, watching football and hockey, curling (the sport), and building things with my LEGO collection.
Assal Haddad, PhD
Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering, Assistant Professor of Environmental Engineering
I teach civil and environmental engineering majors water and environmental engineering courses. Although I have been teaching these courses for over ten years, I always like to expand on the topics I cover, introduce new teaching mechanisms, and relate the material to other engineering courses and real-world applications. This keeps the lectures fresh and the classroom alive.
Dayakar Naik Lavadiya, PhD
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering , Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering
I primarily teach material science, structural mechanics, and thermal courses in mechanical engineering. Through coursework, I encourage the students to apply the engineering principles learned throughout the semester implementing them into a design project. I always look forward to collaborating with my colleagues for inter-and-intra disciplinary projects that expand the horizon of my engineering skills and serve the community.
