The M.Eng. program in civil and environmental engineering is aimed at engineers who wish to improve the depth and breadth of their technical abilities in the context of the engineering profession. They do this through additional course work and participation in a project that contains the elements of engineering practice. The Master of Engineering degree is normally completed in two semesters of intensive study. Thirty credit hours that include coursework in major and supporting areas and a project are required.In addition to the coursework in a chosen major, a student will also take courses in one or multiple supporting areas. These can be chosen from any of the specialty areas within CEE, as well as in other disciplines, including microbiology, historic preservation, operations research, computer science, economics, materials science, architecture, and engineering management. Students from all fields of engineering and the physical and natural sciences are welcome in the master of engineering programs offered by the school.
