IIT's mission is to educate people from all countries for complex professional roles in a changing technological world and to advance knowledge through research and scholarship.
Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) is a private university with five campuses located in greater Chicago, Illinois area. IIT has programs in engineering, science, psychology, architecture, business, communications, industrial technology, information technology, design, and law. It is a member of the Association of Independent Technological Universities. It was formed in 1940 by the merger of Armour Institute of Technology (founded in 1893) and Lewis Institute (founded in 1895).
IIT has five campuses.
Two other undergraduate institutions share IIT's Main Campus: VanderCook College of Music and Shimer College. Both institutions share dormitories with IIT and offer cross-registration for IIT students, significantly diversifying campus life.
IIT's Main Campus comprises about ten city blocks in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago, approximately three miles south of the Loop and just east of U.S. Cellular Field (originally Comiskey Park). The CTA Green Line elevated trains run north and south through campus, and pass through the Exelon Tube, which is part of the McCormick Tribune Campus Center. The CTA Red Line runs north and south west of campus in the Dan Ryan Expressway median. State Street, which runs north and south, bisects the campus. East of State Street are mostly student-oriented buildings, including residence halls, the campus center, student health and counseling offices, IIT Public Safety, and athletic facilities. West of State Street are academic and administrative buildings, Hermann Hall (IIT's Conference Center and former student union building), Paul V. Galvin Library, and University Technology Park. IIT is bordered on the north roughly by 30th Street, on the south by 35th St, on the east by Michigan Avenue, and on the west by Metra's Rock Island Line.

I am interested in their civil engineering program. What about comparing it to University of Illinois- Chicago? What is the average high school GPA to get into these school?

IIT is selective, but not overly so. Both IIT and UIC are top-tier, REGIONAL schools. If your goal is to attend school in Illinois for engineering (and, you don't think you can get into the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), then I would apply to the Illinois Institute of Technology.
It's hard to say what GPA you'd need, as this is only one aspect that admissions counselors look at.
