The Civil and
Environmental Engineering Department offers coursework and research leading to
the M.S.E. and Ph.D. degrees. The Ph.D. program is offered jointly with the
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alabama
at Birmingham (UAB).
Research performed by the
civil engineering faculty emphasizes state-of-the-art technology and is geared
largely toward space-based applications. The philosophy and unique
qualifications of the faculty afford graduate students opportunities for
advanced work in structural engineering and structural materials, geotechnical
engineering, engineering mechanics, environmental engineering, hydraulics and
hydrologic processes, transportation planning, intelligent transportation
systems, experimental mechanics/applied optics and natural hazard
mitigation.
Under a cooperative
agreement, several courses are co-listed and jointly taught by civil and
mechanical engineering faculty so that a variety of courses can be offered on a
regular basis. Courses are also available by IITS from faculty at UAB. Support
is available at attractive levels for qualified students in the form of
assistantships. Graduate Co-op positions are also available with many local
research and industrial organizations. UAH has the intellectual and social
environment to provide a well-rounded, high technologically-oriented degree. The
M.S.E. degree granted by the department is equivalent to those available in
traditional civil and environmental engineering programs.
