The goal of the educational programs in Civil and Environmental Engineering is to produce graduates who are schooled in engineering fundamentals and capable of doing advanced engineering work. To this end, programs offered in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering are professional in nature and lead to the Master of Science degree, and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Major areas include structural mechanics, geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, transportation engineering, construction engineering and management, and civil engineering informatics. The available courses include laboratory studies, applied mathematics, engineering analysis, engineering design and a variety of introductory and advanced level courses in various areas of engineering and applied science and construction management.
Admission
Please refer to Admission under Special Regulations for the school.
Master's Degree
Graduate students plan their program in consultation with an advisor and may elect to pursue a broad Master of Science (M.S.) degree program major in one of the areas identified above. The minimum requirements for the master's programs in Civil and Environmental Engineering are the successful completion of 30 semester credit hours.
Maximum flexibility scope of studies is afforded by utilization of courses offered in departments of the university or other area universities through the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area.
Doctoral Degree Programs
Candidates for the Ph.D. degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering plan their program in consultation with an advisor. The program of studies is tailored individually to meet the needs of the student and the academic and professional standards of the department. Maximum flexibility in scope studies is afforded by utilization of courses offered in other departments of the university or other area universities through the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area.
Other requirements for the doctoral degree program follow those established for the school. Please refer to Degree Requirements.
For students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. degree, a Master's thesis is strongly recommended.
