Why do companies want to hire Hokies? They know what we bring to the table.

Hear why employers value Virginia Tech CEE students and then come out and meet them yourself today at the CEE Career Fair.

Virginia Tech’s team took the top spot in the Wastewater Division of the Water Environment Federation's Student Design Competition at WEFTEC 2026.

Competing against 10 other teams from across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico, our students came out on top in one of the field’s premier student design competitions.

This also marks Virginia Tech’s first time placing first in in the WEF Student Design Competition.

Congratulations to our outstanding students and their advisors from civil and environmental engineering and Virginia Tech Biological Systems Engineering.

Pulling a 255,000-pound airplane by hand takes a serious team effort.

Our graduate students joined Delta Airport Consultants in Roanoke Saturday for the Special Olympics Virginia Plane Pull, helping a team of volunteers pull a Boeing 757-200 down the runway by hand.

And there was an extra Hokie connection - many members of the Delta team are former Hokies themselves.

Guess the lab equipment! This one was acquired through a contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Geotechnical and Structural Laboratory. Here are a few hints:

It works with fluids and soil.

It helps VTCEE researchers understand how soil responds to different loading conditions.

The fluids being studied often include oil and other organic fluids.

Ph.D. student Abigail Green is studying soilborne pathogens across the U.S., analyzing 1,004 soil samples to map where human, animal, and plant-associated pathogens are found.

Her research will help identify pathogen hotspots and the environmental factors shaping their distribution — providing new insight that could improve disease surveillance.

She was selected as one of just four recipients of the 2026 Metagenomics SMRT Grant for HiFi sh***un metagenomics.

Meet the four 2026 Metagenomics SMRT Grant awardees using PacBio HiFi sequencing to advance research in antimicrobial resistance, hereditary cancer, HPV persistence, and soil pathogens.
