Master of Science in Civil Engineering with Concentration in Geotechnical Engineering
Program Overview
Civil Engineering is the discipline that consists of the design, construction, and maintenance of constructed and natural infrastructure. Civil engineers apply their knowledge of mathematics and physical sciences to develop ways to efficiently utilize natural resources and the forces of nature to improve the well-being of humanity and to protect the environment. First and foremost, Civil Engineering is a people serving profession. Civil Engineers are responsible for all civil infrastructure systems including water supply and treatment facilities, landfills, highways, bridges, rail lines, dams, and telecommunication services. The work of Civil Engineers results in improved public health and quality of life, while still recognizing the importance of natural systems. Civil Engineers have a direct and immediate impact on our society and our ability to create a sustainable civilization.
Geotechnical Engineering
The Geotechnical Engineering Program provides a comprehensive course of instruction, preparing students for professional advancement or further scientific study. Internationally recognized for excellence in teaching and research, the faculty group is comprised of individuals with expertise in the areas of numerical modeling, earthquake engineering, soil rheology, in-situ characterization, and full-scale field testing. Current projects include a large, multi-year, international effort to assess and mitigate offshore geohazards and a study on the behavior of eroded soil, a main cause of dam and levee failure. The program’s worldwide reach, diverse research interests, and outstanding facilities make for a well-rounded graduate curriculum and the ideal environment for collaborative research.
