What is a computational civil engineer?

A Computational Civil Engineer is a professional who uses computer modeling, simulation, and advanced computational methods to solve complex civil engineering problems. Their work often involves structural analysis, fluid dynamics, geotechnical engineering, and environmental modeling using specialized software tools. They help design and analyze infrastructure projects more efficiently and accurately by leveraging computational techniques. This role requires a strong background in both civil engineering principles and computer programming or software applications. By applying computational methods, they can optimize designs, predict performance, and improve safety in civil engineering projects.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a computational civil engineer?

To thrive as a Computational Civil Engineer, you need a solid background in civil engineering principles, advanced mathematics, and computational modeling, typically supported by a relevant engineering degree. Proficiency in structural analysis software (such as SAP2000, ETABS, or ANSYS), programming languages (like Python or MATLAB), and familiarity with CAD tools are highly valued. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help distinguish top performers in this role. These competencies are crucial for developing accurate simulations, optimizing designs, and collaborating efficiently on complex engineering projects.

How do computational civil engineers typically collaborate with traditional civil engineering teams during a project?

Computational civil engineers often work closely with traditional civil engineering teams by providing advanced modeling, simulation, and data analysis to inform design and decision-making. They translate complex physical problems into computational models, which helps the broader team assess alternatives, optimize designs, and predict project outcomes. Effective communication is key, as computational engineers must explain technical results in a clear, actionable way for colleagues who may not have a programming or simulation background. This collaboration enhances project efficiency and leads to more innovative, data-driven solutions.

What is the difference between Computational Civil Engineer vs Structural Civil Engineer?

AspectComputational Civil EngineerStructural Civil Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Civil Engineering, programming skillsBachelor's or Master's in Civil Engineering, focus on structural analysis
Work EnvironmentDesigning algorithms, modeling, software developmentDesigning, analyzing, and inspecting structures
Industry UsageConstruction, infrastructure projects, software firmsBuilding design firms, construction companies, consulting

Computational Civil Engineers focus on applying programming and modeling techniques to civil engineering problems, while Structural Civil Engineers specialize in designing and analyzing physical structures. Both roles require civil engineering credentials but differ in daily tasks and industry focus.

Job description

Job Title:Civil & Construction Engineering - CFS Professorial Faculty (3 positions)

Posting End Date:November 1, 2026

*NOTE: Last day to apply is Saturday, October 31, 2026 @ 11:59 p.m. MST

Start Date:August 1, 2027

Required Degree: An earned doctorate in civil engineering or a closely related field is required.

The required degree must be completed by the start date.

Background:

The Department of Civil and Construction Engineering at Brigham Young University (BYU) (https://cce.byu.edu/) seeks applications from highly qualified candidates for three full-time positions in continuing-faculty-status tracks (similar to "tenure track" at other universities). We invite outstanding candidates across all areas of Civil Engineering or related fields. Focus areas for this position may include, but are not limited to, geotechnical engineering, structural and materials engineering, computational mechanics, transportation and infrastructure systems, environmental engineering, water resources engineering, hydraulic engineering, hydrologic engineering, and related fields.

Located in a new engineering building equipped with state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories, the department benefits from a strong university-wide emphasis on mentored research for both graduate and undergraduate students. Department resources and university support are extensive, including generous funding for capital equipment and supplies, an annual travel budget, substantial funding for student teaching assistants, access to extensive computer hardware and software, and acclaimed international study-abroad programs.

The department emphasizes experiential learning with an interdisciplinary approach to sustainably and ethically design, engineer, construct, and manage the built environment. The successful candidate must demonstrate their ability to contribute through high-quality teaching, mentorship, and a focused research agenda. Responsibilities include: 1) teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses within a focus area and supporting areas; 2) developing a robust, externally funded research program that includes mentoring graduate and undergraduate students and results in high-impact publications and products; and 3) contributing meaningfully to professional organizations and actively engaging in service roles within the department, college, and university.

Initial rank will be based on qualifications and experience. Industry experience is highly valued. Interested applicants must complete the faculty application. BYU is an equal opportunity employer. All faculty are required to abide by the university's honor code (https://honorcode.byu.edu/), and preference is given to qualified candidates who are members in good standing of the affiliated church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
