Civil Engineering
Master of Engineering - Civil Engineering     

To be qualified to enter the civil engineer degree program, a student must have completed a master's degree in engineering. The degree candidate must also demonstrate professional competence by having at least two years of responsible industrial experience in one of the areas of civil engineering. The industrial experience is to be completed prior to entering the program or in the process of being satisfied upon entering the program. Thirty credits beyond the master's degree are required for the degree of civil engineer. Eight to 15 of those credits must be on a design project. You will be assigned an advisor who will help you develop a study plan and who will supervise your design project. The study plan, which should include details of the professional experience and of the design project, must be submitted to the departmental committee on the civil engineer degree for approval. Upon completion of the design project, you will submit a written report to the departmental committee for approval, and you will be required to take an oral examination on the substance of the design project.

Concentrations are available in the areas of structural and geotechnical engineering. The student must complete core courses depending on the areas of concentration as follows:
