MSc in Civil Engineering (Thesis) in Orono United States | University of Maine

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering provides Master of Science programs (both thesis and non-thesis options) and Doctoral degrees in Civil Engineering. Specializations encompass Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Engineering and Mechanics, and Water Resources Engineering. The Environmental and Water Resources Engineering disciplines cover: Hydrological systems, sustainable water resource management, hydroclimatic interactions, coastal dynamics, fluvial and estuarine transport mechanisms, estuarine sediment and wave processes, climate adaptation in hydrology, and environmental policy development. Structural Engineering and Mechanics research focuses on: Composite material applications, engineered wood systems, concrete technology, structural integrity assessment, and advanced computational modeling. Geotechnical research specialties include: Soil behavior analysis, unsaturated and gassy soil mechanics, thermal properties of soils, slope stabilization techniques, subsurface exploration methods, soil-structure interface behavior, ground enhancement technologies, foundation design principles, and earth retention system engineering.
