Structural Engineering

The graduate program in Structural Engineering is designed to allow students to pursue advanced study in structural design, mechanics and analysis, structural dynamics, and other related subjects. The curriculum offers a balance of design, analysis, and theory, with emphasis placed on modern structural codes and practical applications.

Students in this program pursue the Master of Science in Civil Engineering (MCE) degree. The program is designed for part-time or full-time study, with courses offered in the evenings.

Under the guidance of the advisor, a student will arrange a Plan of Study. A student concentrating in structural engineering must satisfactorily complete:

  • Two courses from the Structural Design group listed below, one of which must be CEE 8435 - Reinforced Concrete Reinforced Concrete or CEE 8437 - Structural Steel Structural Steel
  • Two courses from the Mechanics and Analysis group
  • CEE 8434 - Structural Dynamics Structural Dynamics
