hours of advanced study. CE 593 is required for the non-thesis option. For lists of pre-approved courses, see the Department of Civil Engineering.
ENG 491 is required for all students unless conditional exemption is granted; see the Writing Proficiency Requirement for further details. ENG 491, if taken, can be counted as part of the 30-31 hours of advanced study. CE 593 is required for the non-thesis option; CE 599 is required for the thesis option.
Transportation Engineering Specialization Transportation engineering focuses on the design of facilities that enable the mobility of travelers. These include designing highways, traffic signals and pavements. Transportation engineers consider factors such as pedestrian and traffic safety, evacuations, pavement management and intelligent transportation systems.
For lists of pre-approved courses, see the Department of Civil Engineering.
Structural Engineering Specialization Structural engineering includes the design of buildings and bridges, considering loads such as wind, earthquakes and people. Designs could include materials such as concrete, steel, timber, masonry and fiber-reinforced polymers.
Courses Students are required to complete 10 courses, which is 30-31 hours of advanced study. At least 15 hours must be at the 500-level. At least seven courses must be chosen from the following list:
