Oregon State University's geotechnical engineering graduate programs focus on combining soil mechanics principles with practical foundation and earth structure engineering. While theory plays a key role, it's continually assessed for its practical limitations and relevance to quality geotechnical practice. The M.S. and M.Eng. degrees equip students for professional roles in consulting, design, regulatory work, or construction, while the M.S. program also prepares those aiming for research, teaching, or doctoral studies.
The Civil and Construction Engineering Department provides three advanced degree options: Master of Engineering (MEng), Master of Science in Civil Engineering (M.S.), and Doctorate in Civil Engineering (Ph.D.). Students can specialize in any of seven civil engineering disciplines, utilizing dedicated facilities for their projects. Each specialization has distinct requirements across the degree programs. The school employs cutting-edge teaching approaches to develop tomorrow's leaders in architectural, civil, and construction engineering, while advancing research for creating safe, durable, and eco-friendly infrastructure.
Civil engineering involves designing, building, and maintaining public infrastructure like roads, bridges, and ports. Oregon State's programs train students for both professional engineering careers and academic research in civil engineering challenges. Graduates can immediately take the National Fundamentals of Engineering (F.E.) exam, and those completing extra surveying/geomatics coursework qualify for Oregon's Fundamentals of Surveying (F.S.) exam - essential steps toward Professional Engineer or Surveyor licensure.
