Graduate Program In Infrastructure Engineering & Management

The infrastructure systems curriculum focuses on the design of Civil Engineering systems used to transport people, goods, water, waste disposal, energy, and information.  This broad-based program is specifically delineated for designers involved with multi-disciplined Civil Engineering projects with urban emphasis. The design of infrastructure systems includes deterioration, assessment, renewal, maintenance, effectiveness, and sustainability elements as related to continuous urban development.  Each student’s program of study must be developed before completing twelve (12) graduate credit hours.  Students pursuing a M.E. degree must meet with their supervising committee to fully establish their program of study.  Core and elective course requirements for a master’s degree in the infrastructure engineering area are given below.

Master of Engineering Degree

Twenty-four (24) hours of course work must be in Civil Engineering.

Core Courses: Twelve (12) semester hours are required from the Core Courses list.

Elective Courses:  Twenty one (21) semester hours of elective course work must be taken from Civil Engineering Elective Courses listed below (i.e., one (1) three (3) hour course from each of the following CE areas - environmental, geotechnical, structures, transportation, and water resources). Three (3) additional semester hours of electives must be taken from the department or selected courses outside the department.  Three (3) semester hours of elective course work must be taken as a research tool or supporting courses to the program of work, such as the CIRP courses listed under Elective Courses below.  The Elective Courses listed below are highly recommended for this option, but are not all-inclusive.  Course selection must result in a cohesive program that supports the degree plan and must receive the approval of the student’s supervising committee.

Project Course:  Each student must complete a three (3) hour project on Infrastructure Design Engineering (CE5395 Master Project).

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’s final degree requirements.
