Curriculum

The civil engineering program provides a balance of traditional civil engineering subjects with emerging innovative technologies. Technical electives make it possible to either concentrate study in traditional areas or to expand into new technologies. The group of required courses provides depth of knowledge and an analytical perspective that sets the specialized technical electives in context. The flexibility of the curriculum allows students to design a program of study tailored to individual career goals and to the demands of the ever-changing marketplace.

Students in the MSE program are encouraged to work with their academic advisor to design a focused program of study that will enhance their career goals and professional skills. The MSE degree can be completed with a thesis or non-thesis option.
