Earthquake Engineering Track (M.Eng. Civil Engineering)
As the nation has now endorsed seismic design requirements in building codes, there is a national need for engineering professionals who are properly educated and trained to handle earthquake-resistant design of new structures and seismic retrofitting of existing structures. The M.Eng. Earthquake Engineering Track is meant to provide post-graduate training for students wishing to improve their knowledge base in earthquake engineering.
