MSc in Civil Engineering - Civil Engineering Systems in Philadelphia United States | Temple University

The M.S.C.E. program equips students with advanced technical expertise in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Participants are encouraged to expand their intellectual horizons through continuous learning and knowledge application, transforming into engaged, articulate professionals with social consciousness. Program graduates play vital roles in advancing civil and environmental engineering fields. The curriculum promotes cross-disciplinary research across engineering disciplines and collaborations with science and applied mathematics departments. Current partnerships with Mechanical Engineering involve studies on porous media fluid dynamics (aquifers) and oceanic oil spill dispersion patterns. Joint projects with Chemistry focus on combustion byproducts and surface molecular interactions. The program offers two specialization tracks: Civil Engineering Systems covering construction, structural, and transportation engineering, and Environmental Engineering addressing water resources, natural system pollution (air/water), and remediation technologies.

Temple University's College of Engineering Master of Science in Civil Engineering prepares students to design and maintain critical infrastructure—from bridges and highways to dams and tunnels—while developing essential geotechnical and structural analysis competencies. Beyond enhancing technical abilities, the program cultivates socially responsible engineering professionals capable of thoughtful discourse. Students learn to assess infrastructure challenges systematically and develop innovative engineering responses. The Civil Engineering Systems specialization focuses on three core disciplines: construction, structural, and transportation engineering.
