The department currently consists of 10 tenure-system faculty members, with approximately 185 undergraduate and 40 graduate students. Faculty in civil engineering department are engaged in diverse research, mostly grouped in the following areas: coastal and hydraulic engineering, computational engineering mechanics, cyber-physical systems, data analytics and smart cities, structures and infrastructure, structural mechanics, and water quality. The department recently developed a number of key state-of-the-art research facilities, including an 85-ft integrated wave and current flume facility, and a super-computing cluster with over 1,200 cores and 70 TB data storage. A properly equipped geotechnical engineering laboratory is also available.

As one of the only two comprehensive (Bachelors to Ph.D.) civil engineering programs within the State University of New York, the Department of Civil Engineering at Stony Brook University is playing a key role in addressing critical infrastructure challenges regionally and globally. The department is a partner of the New York State (NYS) Center for Clean Water Technology, the NYS Infrastructure, Transportation, and Security Center, and the Atlantic Marine Energy Center. Faculty also have the opportunity to collaborate with researchers in the Center of Excellence in Wireless and Information Technology (CEWIT), the Advanced Energy Research and Technology Center (AERT), the Institute for AI-Driven Discovery and Innovation. Collaborative opportunities also exist with Brookhaven National Laboratory and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, both of which are less than 30 miles from campus.
