Master of Science in Engineering - Civil Engineering

The Department of Civil & Systems Engineering, Master of Science and Engineering (M.S.E.) programs develop a sound understanding of the scientific principles upon which engineering research and practice are based. Different aspects of learning are integrated through classroom, laboratory instruction, and independent study experiences. Graduates of the programs possess critical thinking skills, the ability for both independent and team problem-solving, and a sense of the excitement of engineering creativity and design. The programs also develop communication skills necessary for the graduates to function in teams and to deal with other professions in public and private arenas. Their progressive education furthers student understanding of the context in which engineering is practiced in modern society. 

The Civil Engineering program focuses on mechanics of materials, probabilistic methods, fire engineering, earthquake engineering, and infrastructure design for resilience
