This field of study provides options for in-depth study in the broad engineering fields of structural, water and environmental, geotechnical and transportation engineering.
The program enables students to advance their existing civil engineering knowledge and skills through practice-focused and advanced technical courses coupled with experiential learning experiences. Students will also be able to work directly and intensively with academic mentors through a research project in their final year.
