Graduate Catalog 2017-2018
Civil Engineering (MCE)
Description
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering specializes in environmental, geotechnical and structural engineering. Environmental engineering deals with water and wastewater treatment, chemical and biological unit operations, hazardous waste treatment and pollution prevention. Structural engineering emphasizes finite element methods, computer-aided structural analysis and design, pre-stressed concrete and plastic analysis. Geotechnical engineering focuses on advanced concepts in soil mechanics, soil dynamics, tunneling, earth dams and pavement design.
Detroit and its environs provide the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering with large-scale local engineering activities and facilities, including research and development, industrial operations, and civil construction. These opportunities offer the engineering student a stimulating environment for study and considerable future employment potential.
The Civil Engineering program prepares students for careers as consulting engineers, engineers in industry and government, and researchers for university and industrial laboratories.
The Master of Civil Engineering and the Doctor of Engineering with a major in Civil and Environmental Engineering are described in the following sections. In addition to these, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is also involved in two interdisciplinary programs: a joint Master of Architecture/Master of Civil Engineering; and the Master of Community Development with the School of Architecture. For more information about these two programs, please visit those sites. Students can also further their studies in the Doctor of Engineering program with a major in Civil and Environmental Engineering.

Traditional Master vs. 5 year Bachelor/Master
Students may enter the Master program one of two ways: Traditional (for new Master students or 91福利社 undergraduate students who did not qualify for the 5-year Bachelor/Master program) and 5-year Bachelor/Master (for 91福利社 undergraduate students).
Traditional Master Program
New Master students or 91福利社 undergraduate students who did not qualify for the 5-year Bachelor/Master program may apply for graduate school either online or by completing a written application. Typical (but not absolute) minimum requirements include an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 and a Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering or closely related discipline. Although the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and Test of English as a Foreign Language (if applicable) are not required as part of the application, they can be useful in facilitating the admission process.
5-year Bachelor/Master Program
New 91福利社 undergraduate students and senior Civil Engineering undergraduate students that are within two to three terms of graduating, with a GPA of 3.25 or better, and who will finish their undergraduate program in four years, may apply for the 5-year Bachelor/Master program. If accepted in the 5-year Bachelor/Master program, students can receive up to nine transfer credits to double-count towards their Bachelor and Master programs.
