Engineering Science Program

Engineering Science is an Interdisciplinary Program that
combines analytical, computational and experimental methods

The graduate CEAE Engineering Science program is intended to provide an advanced education and stimulating environment to students who seek careers and education beyond a specific civil engineering subdiscipline, and are interested in learning and applying advanced analytical, computational and experimental methods to tackle modern engineering and technological problems. Students from civil, environmental, architectural engineering, as well as those from other engineering and applied science disciplines (e.g., applied mathematics, mechanical, aerospace, electrical, geophysics, computer science) are all welcome to apply. A particular focus of the program is on inter- and cross-disciplinary research which often requires a sound fundamental scientific and engineering training. The emphasis is on both depth and balance.

Core Curriculum Requirements:

• 3 units in a fundamental course in continuum mechanics/physics

• 3 units in applied/engineering mechanics (solid, fluid, geo, structural, material, thermo, bio)

• 6 units in advanced engineering mathematics/analysis

• 3 units in computer/numerical methods (e.g., FEM/FDM/CFD)

• Choice of additional graduate course within the CEAE department or the College of Engineering and Applied Science commensurate with the goals and interest of the students under the guidance of the E.S. faculty.

• All exams (M.S., Ph.D. preliminary, comprehensive and thesis defense) will be composed and administered by the CEAE Engineering Science faculty group.

• For M.S. degree, a 30 hour thesis- or course work option is available.
