Civil Engineering - MASTER'S (MENGR, M.S.)

DEGREE OVERVIEW

The Master of Science in civil engineering degree program is research-oriented and completion of a thesis is mandatory. The program consists of a minimum of 24 credit hours of coursework and an acceptable thesis (six credit hours).

The Master of Engineering in civil engineering degree program is engineering practice-oriented and requires a minimum of 30 credit hours of coursework.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The objective of the graduate program in civil engineering is to prepare students for continued professional and scholarly development consistent with their technical interests. Students, with the assistance of a faculty advisor in their area of interest, plan their programs of study in one of the technical areas in civil engineering. Typical program and research areas are:

1. Construction Engineering and Management
2. Environmental (water and air quality control, and solid and hazardous materials control)
3. Geotechnical (soil mechanics and foundations)
4. Infrastructure Systems Engineering and Management
5. Structures and Applied Mechanics
6. Transportation (traffic planning, highways, airports, and transit)
7. Water Resources (hydrology and hydraulics)
8. Sustainable Solid Waste Engineering and Management
