Master of Engineering - Civil Engineering

The Master of Engineering (MEng) in Civil Engineering provides students with additional training in advanced civil engineering topics, management, and professional issues. The MEng degree option is ideal for students who will pursue a master’s degree part-time or for full-time students who desire an option for accelerated completion within one year.

The MEng curriculum includes a total of 30 semester hours of coursework. For all courses in the curriculum, students must satisfy prerequisites to enroll in a course. Students entering the major without a civil or environmental engineering degree also must satisfy a set of articulation courses.

The specialty (depth) area courses provide students advanced training beyond the bachelor’s degree in a specific civil engineering sub-discipline. The majority of the specialty area courses should be taken from the CEE department. A minimum of 15 credit hours of specialty (depth) is required in the MEng curriculum.

The supplementary electives are intended to assist the student with developing complementary multidisciplinary and professional skills required in the civil engineering profession. Supplementary electives may include courses from other civil and environmental engineering areas outside of the chosen specialty, as well as courses from other disciplines that support the professional development focus of the MEng Example supplementary electives outside of engineering include courses in the sciences, mathematics, statistics, computer/computational science, social sciences, public policy, urban and regional planning, business, and law. A minimum of 12 credit hours of supplementary electives is required in the MEng curriculum.
