The Master of Chemical Engineering program is intended to supplement the education of full-time practicing chemical engineers. Courses include many special interest areas, and are designed to provide students with a mastery of chemical engineering fundamentals. The graduate programs offered by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering maintain a balance between theory and application, stress modern engineering methods for the solution of detailed and complex problems, and emphasize the concepts of analysis and design coupled with engineering judgement. The programs in Transportation Engineering and in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering are described below.
Candidates pursue either a Master of Civil Engineering degree or a Master of Science degree.
Students in the Structural and Geotechnical Engineering program pursue the Master of Civil Engineering degree. They elect courses in the areas of structural mechanics, structural design, and geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering. In conjunction with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, the Master of Science in Computer Engineering program embraces a strong faculty-student interaction. Students are afforded the opportunity to develop greater technical competence in Computer Organization and Architecture, Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, Intelligent Systems, Neural Networks and Fuzzy Systems, Operating Systems, and Programming, Software Reliability and VLSI Design.
