Courtney Di Vittorio, PhD, PE

I am an Associate Professor of Engineering at Wake Forest University. As a founding faculty member, I helped develop an innovative curriculum carefully designed to educate the whole engineer. We provide students with an education that is grounded in the engineering fundamentals and Wake Forest University's liberal arts tradition.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics at McGill University in Montreal, QC, Canada, and earned a PhD at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Civil Engineering, with a focus on Water Resources. I maintain a professional engineering license and have experience in heavy civil construction as a field engineer. I also worked with Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Canada and USA in both long- and short-term capacities stationed in Ghana, Liberia, Zambia, and Honduras.
