Civil Engr & Engr Mechanics (Minor)  
Program Description

Minors in Civil Engineeringand Engineering MechanicsMaster’s students from other departments who wish to minor in Civil Engineering or Engineering Mechanics must complete at least six (6) units of 5xxnumbered courses or higher. The minor advisor must approve course selection.

 
Department/Academic Unit(s)

The department offers programs leading to the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees with a major in Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics. Work is directed toward research and professional development in such areas as engineering mechanics, engineering materials, highway engineering, hydraulics and fluid mechanics, geomechanics, geo-technical engineering, water resources, structural engineering, and transportation engineering. Certain interdisciplinary options such as regional development and urban planning, and environmental engineering are available by combining various areas of the program with programs in other departments. For further information concerning these options, see the College of Engineering web site.

The department also offers a degree in Master of Science, Masters of Engineering, an Accelerated Masters Degree in both MS and ME degrees and has three certificate programs; Advance Transportation, Geoengineering and Hydraulics and Water Resources Engineering.
