Master of Engineering
The Master of Engineering program provides a practice oriented alternative to
the Master of Science programs offered by the Department of Civil and
Environmental Engineering. It responds to the need to provide engineering
practitioners with advanced level expertise in a civil and environmental
engineering specialty, some technical breadth in a related specialty,
familiarity with business and/or legal issues in engineering practice, and a
substantial engineering project experience. The program is designed for
individuals with an ABET accredited bachelor's degree in Engineering who desire
to pursue a career in engineering practice within the private or public sector.
We strongly encourage continuing education by engineering practitioners on a
part-time basis. The program provides substantial technical depth beyond the
Bachelor's degree and offers a number of unique features. These may include:
- Breadth requirement - two engineering electives (except for the
Infrastructure Engineering program which spans both geotechnical and
structural engineering) in a field outside of, but related to, the student's
primary field of specialization.
- Professional practice course - one course in either legal issues or
professional issues in engineering.
- Graduate engineering project - a project which addresses a substantial
engineering problem related to design, management, and/or operations.
- Candidacy - the candidate must possess an ABET accredited bachelor's
degree in Engineering or equivalent.
