In the information technology age, more resources are available for building new cities, repairing the infrastructure, cleaning up the environment: these are all tasks for the civil engineer. Major corporations, government agencies, private consulting and construction firms, and universities are just some of the organizations that employ civil engineers.

A region’s physical, economic, and social structure is fundamentally tied to its transportation system. The field of Transportation Engineering focuses on the planning, design, construction, management, and performance of these vital systems. Transportation systems consist of facilities, vehicles, control mechanisms, technology, and policies that combine to permit the efficient transit of people and freight.

The M.S. in Civil Engineering (Transportation Engineering) program offers st...

Structural Engineering is a Civil Engineering discipline which emphasizes analytical and experimental studies of the behavior of structures (e.g., buildings, bridges, and dams) under service loads (e.g., traffic) and environmental loads (e.g., wind and earthquake). Emphasis is placed on response predictions or computations for these structures and their constituent materials (e.g., steel, reinforced concrete, and composites). Study is made of the nature of these loadings, both static and dynamic...
