Construction
Engineering & Construction Management Areas of Study Leading to
M. S. and M. E. Degrees
in Civil Engineering
Construction Engineering and Construction Management is a multi-disciplinary area of study under the existing Master of Science (M. S.) and Master of Engineering (M. E.) degrees in Civil Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. These areas of study are specifically oriented toward student’s interest, and should emphasize the research and development, or the design and application aspects of construction. Each student’s area of study must be developed before completing twelve (12) graduate credit hours. Students must meet with their supervising committee to fully establish their area of study.
The new area of study is
composed of two options: Construction
Engineering Emphasis and Construction
Management Emphasis, both culminating in the degrees of either M. S. or
M. E. in Civil Engineering.
OPTION # 1: CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING EMPHASIS
Construction Engineering is a
broad-based program. This
program is
specifically oriented toward an individual’s interest, and should
emphasize the
research and development of Construction Engineering or the design and
application aspect of Construction Engineering.
Each student’s Tentative
Program of Work must be developed before
completing twelve (12) graduate credit hours.
Students pursuing a M.S. or
M.E. degree must meet with their supervising
committee to fully establish their program of study.
Course requirement for this
master’s degree
are listed below.
Core Courses: Eighteen
(18) semesters hours are required
from the Core Course list.
Elective Courses: Six
(6) semester hours of elective course work
must be taken from Civil Engineering Electives.
Course selection must result
in a cohesive program that supports the
thesis and must receive the approval of the students supervising
committee.
Thesis:
Six (6) hours of thesis must
be enrolled in during
the semester the student finishes, the semester in which the thesis is
successfully defended, and the final Master’s Examination is
unconditionally
passed. The degree
candidate must defend
the thesis in a final oral examination open to all members of the
faculty. Once
enrolled in thesis courses, continuous
enrollment is required.
Master of Engineering Degree
Core Courses: Eighteen
(18) semesters hours are required
from the Core Course list. Additionally,
each student must complete a three (3) hour project (CE 5395 Master’s
Project)
approved by student’s supervising committee.
Elective Courses: Nine
(9) semester hours of elective course
work must be taken from Civil Engineering Electives.
Six (6) additional semester
hours of elective
course work must be taken from Architecture, Accounting, Business,
Management,
Industrial Engineering or Civil Engineering Electives.
Course selection must result
in a cohesive
program that supports the thesis and must receive the approval of the
students
supervising committee.
Final Exam:
Enrollment in CE 5193,
Master’s Comprehensive
Examination is required in the semester of graduation.
FINAL
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
vary depending upon a
student’s background
and experience. Student’s
supervising
committee establishes individual degree requirements.

OPTION #2: CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT EMPHASIS
Construction
Management is not designed to meet
professional
engineering registration licensing.
This
program is specifically oriented toward an individual’s interest, and
should
emphasize the research and development of construction management or
the design
and application aspect of construction management.
Each student’s Tentative
Program of Work must
be developed before completing twelve (12) graduate credit hours. Students pursuing a M.S.
or M.E. degree must
meet with their supervising committee to fully establish a program of
study. Course
requirements for this
master’s degree are listed below.
Master of Science Degree
Core Courses: Eighteen
(18) semesters hours are required
from the Core Course list.
Elective Courses: Six
(6) semester hours of elective course work
must be taken from Architecture, Accounting, Business, Management,
Industrial
Engineering or Civil Engineering Electives.
Course selection must result
in a cohesive program that supports the
thesis and must receive the approval of the students supervising
committee.
Thesis:

from the Core Course list. Additionally,
each student must complete a three (3) hour project (CE 5395 Master’s
Project)
approved by student’s supervising committee.
Elective Courses: Fifteen
(15) semester hours of
elective course work must be taken from Architecture, Accounting,
Business,
Management, Industrial Engineering or Civil Engineering Electives. Course selection must
result in a cohesive
program that supports the thesis and must receive the approval of the
students
supervising committee.
Final Exam:
Enrollment in CE 5193,
Master’s Comprehensive
Examination is required in the semester of graduation.
FINAL DEGREE REQUIREMENTS vary depending upon a student’s
background and Student’s supervising
committee establishes individual degree requirements.
