Structural Engineering Track (M.Eng. Civil Engineering)
The M.Eng. Structural Engineering Track focuses on the practical aspects of modern design of structures. Specialized topics include: design and analysis of different types of structural systems with an emphasis on bridges and tall buildings, as well as project management and construction estimating and planning aspects of such building and bridge projects. As the entire nation is now subject to seismic design code requirements, an emphasis is placed on earthquake-resistant design of new structures and the seismic retrofitting of existing structures.
