PROGRAM INFORMATION

Civil Engineering, MSE

(Concentration: Project Track)

The Masters of Science in Engineering, Civil Engineering curriculum, is designed to provide full-time and part-time students with the opportunity to develop a greater technical competency in the general area of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Students will be motivated to grow intellectually through the continued search for and use of knowledge, and will be provided the catalyst to become active, articulate, socially aware individuals, and key contributors to the Civil Engineering, Construction Management, and Environmental Engineering professions.

Campus Location:
Main Campus

Students are able to complete the degree program through classes offered after 4:30 p.m. Students able to complete the degree program on a part-time basis (8 credit hours or less per semester).

Accreditation:
False

Areas of Specialization:
Under the MSE Civil Engineering Curriculum, there are three areas of specialization for the students to choose from: Environmental Engineering, Construction Engineering and Management, and General Civil Engineering. The Environmental Engineering Track covers the fundamentals and applications of Water Resources Engineering, Pollution in Natural Systems (water and air), and Water Treatment. The Construction Engineering and Management Track addresses the techniques for planning, scheduling, controlling, cost estimating/budgeting, and administration of contracted projects. The General Civil Engineering Track encompasses Structural Engineering and Transportation Engineering.

Job Placement:
Graduates with an MSE in Civil and Environmental Engineering are employed in various engineering companies as well as government agencies in design, analysis, and applications. Typical examples are water treatment facilities and regulatory agencies involved in environmental regulation and pollution control, companies involved in construction project management, and companies involved in structural design and analysis of buildings, and bridges etc. Students who complete an MSE with a thesis are prepared to enter into a doctoral program.

Affiliation(s):

Interdisciplinary Study :
The program encourages interdisciplinary research with other branches of engineering as well as various science departments and applied mathematics. recent collaborative work with the Department of Mechanical Engineering includes projects on water flow and solute transport in porous media (aquifiers) and the effects of turbulance on the mixing of oil spills at sea.

Study Abroad:

Licensure:
False

Non-degree Student Policy:
Non-matriculated students may take up to 9 s.h. of graduate level courses. If accepted into the MSE program, those courses (with grades B or above) can be applied toward the MSE degree requirements. For admission to the MSE program, students must fulfill the gereral admission criteria for MSE admission. Students who complete 9 s.h. courses in good standing may request a waiver of the GRE, which is usually required for admission to the MSE program.
