<p>Are you considering civil engineering because you think there won’t be mechanics in it…? You may end up bitterly disappointed. You don’t have to end up specializing in something mechanics-heavy if you’re going to be a civil engineer, but you’ll have to take some advanced mechanical physics courses, and if you really think it would make your life miserable, you might want to look through civil engineering curricula before you start applying.</p>
<p>Texas A&M and UT-Austin have two of the top civil engineering programs in the nation, so you’re not going to be able to get out of taking some tough courses at either of those. But yes, there’s no snow at either of those places.</p>
<p>Other folks will have to answer about the other fields/programs, as I’m not familiar with them.</p>
