Program Description

The Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) in Civil and Environmental Engineering degree is a course work and project-oriented program. It is normally completed in two semesters of intensive study. Thirty credit hours are required, within which there is a three credit M.Eng. project and core required classes, with the remaining coursework selected to provide a focus area of specialization.  Credits consist of course work, team projects, and dynamic class discussions.

Courses in supporting areas come from many disciplines, including architecture, biology, computer science, economics, engineering management, materials science, microbiology, and operations research to name just a few.

All students enrolled in the Civil & Environmental Engineering M.Eng. can mix and match courses depending on their specific interests.

Students apply into one of three concentrations: Environmental Engineering, Structural Engineering, and Transportation Systems Engineering.

Environmental Engineering

The concentration focuses on building domain knowledge, advancing technical toolkit, and developing skills. Students may further focus their studies in the following specializations including: environmental and water resource systems engineering or sustainable energy systems.

Structural Engineering

The concentration develops knowledge in state of the art and emerging techniques in structural behavior and design to develop resilient, sustainable, and advanced structures. Students can choose from three tracks: Behavior & Design, Advanced Materials, and Analysis & Computation.

Transportation Systems Engineering

The specialization integrates concepts for a variety of disciplines with a focus on transportations planning, design, and analysis.
