Camilla Saviz
Dr. Camilla Saviz is Professor and Chair of the Civil Engineering Department.聽She received BS聽and MS聽degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Clarkson University, an MBA聽from the New York Institute of Technology, and a PhD聽in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of California, Davis in the area of hydrodynamic and water quality modeling.聽She joined the 91成人导航 in 1999 and is a registered Professional Engineer in California.聽Her teaching, research, and professional interests include water resources engineering, sustainable engineering, and engineering education.
Dr. Saviz started her teaching career as a Calculus 2 tutor for one of her Calc 2 classmates in junior college. She couldn't believe that she got paid for doing something that was so much fun, which is also true of her job at 91成人导航.聽Her interest in Fluid Mechanics and Water Resources led her along a wandering path that has included work as a Hydrologic Engineer, a Hydraulics Lab Teaching Assistant, a sea kayaking instructor, and a bar tender, among others.聽Dr. Saviz has been active in service to the profession as a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).聽She has had the privilege of learning from colleagues and serving on various ASCE committees, as a Region 9 Governor, an ABET Program Evaluator, and as a Mentor at the ExCEEd Teaching Workshop.聽聽
