The Department of Civil Engineering within the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences provides graduate programs culminating in MS and PhD degrees, along with a graduate certificate. These programs aim to educate future civil engineers who will drive innovation, create cutting-edge technologies, and implement creative solutions to enhance the safety, durability, and eco-friendliness of essential infrastructure. Students can explore diverse civil engineering disciplines through a comprehensive curriculum. Our approach focuses on interdisciplinary methods to tackle critical societal challenges, particularly in revitalizing and upgrading urban infrastructure. Faculty members engage in pioneering research, partnering with graduate students on both practical and theoretical projects.
Research areas include designing and assessing materials, components, and frameworks to create groundbreaking, eco-conscious, and secure infrastructure. Investigations cover structural performance during disasters, intelligent and responsive materials/structures, and the creation of advanced computational methods.
