Computer-Aided Engineering - Graduate Degree Programs
Both master's and doctoral programs are available. A maximum of 12 semester hours of graduate credit may be transferred from other accredited schools.
Master's
A typical master's program in Computer-Aided Engineering combines course work in a traditional area of civil engineering of approximately 12 to 15 hours together with approximately 9 to 12 hours of computing or automation course work. Civil engineering courses may be taken in the following areas of specialization:
- Coastal and Ocean Engineering
- Construction Engineering and Management
- Environmental and Water Resources Engineering
- Geotechnical / Geoenvironmental Engineering
- Public Works Engineering / Administration
- Structural Engineering and Mechanics
- Transportation Systems and Materials
Doctoral
For the doctoral degree, the civil engineering course requirements are flexible and are developed to meet the specific needs of each student. Course work for the Ph.D. normally includes one year of full-time study beyond the master's degree. The major element of the Ph.D. program is the student's research and dissertation which must represent a significant contribution in an area of Computer-Aided Engineering.
