Master of Science in Civil Engineering
Structural Engineering
- Structural Engineering deals with analytical and experimental studies of the behavior of structures (e.g., buildings, bridges, and dams) under
- service loads (e.g., traffic)
- environmental loads (e.g., wind and earthquake).
- A MS program
- emphasing response predictions or computations for these structures and their constituent materials (e.g., steel, reinforced concrete, and composites).
- examining the nature of these loadings, both static and dynamic, with implications for design.
- supported by experimental facilities in structural engineering.
Prerequisites
- A Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering, Applied Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics.
- Students with a degree in Mathematics or Physics may be required to take additional engineering courses covering the basics of strength of materials, structural analysis and design.
