| Civil
engineering is the oldest of the engineering
disciplines. It involves the planning,
design, construction, operation and maintenance
of buildings, highways, railways, airports,
seaports, and other structures of modern
society. Given the global need for rebuilding,
maintaining and further developing infrastructure,
the demand for civil engineers has never
been greater. Civil engineers can choose
from a broad spectrum of career opportunities
in industry, government and private consulting. |

| |
| The Master
of Science program in Civil Engineering emphasizes course work as well as research. The
student is generally encouraged to specialize in
a defined area of civil engineering, but may also
find it desirable to pursue a more general program
of studies combining subject material from different
areas of specialization and interdisciplinary related
courses. The graduate degree is offered to prepare
qualified students for the professional practice
of civil engineering. The degree is available in
a thesis or non-thesis program. |
