MSc in Civil Engineering in Honolulu United States | University of Hawaii at Manoa

The Civil Engineering Graduate Student Handbook outlines key policies, requirements, and processes for students seeking MS and PhD degrees in Civil Engineering. The program provides Master of Science degrees with specializations in various fields such as coastal engineering, construction management, environmental engineering, geotechnical studies, hydraulics, structural design, transportation systems, and water resources.
Expected Learning Outcomes for Students

The MS program's learning objectives define the competencies students should acquire by graduation. MSCE graduates will develop the ability to:
Exhibit advanced expertise within their chosen specialization area.
Analyze and integrate research literature to develop engineering approaches.
Deliver formal technical presentations effectively.
Create professional reports and potentially publishable papers, as well as
Execute research projects or tackle complex, open-ended engineering challenges.
Specialized course sequences address the first two learning outcomes. For presentation skills (Outcome 3), students must complete a seminar course with oral presentations and defend their thesis (Plan A) or project (Plan B) verbally. Outcomes 4 and 5 are achieved through either a research thesis (Plan A) or a practical project report (Plan B).
