Graduates of this program will be able to:

  1. analyze and design a complex engineering system or component (Technical Competence)
  2. independently investigate an engineering topic and make conclusions about its effect on designs (Research Skills)
  3. present an engineering solution (Effective Communication)

Admission Requirements

Official transcripts from all institutions of higher education attended since high school are required for admission to the program.  Recommended (but not required) items to be considered in admission to the DE program are: completion of a master’s thesis, a high GPA, successful completion of courses in advanced engineering math and design of experiments, recommendation letters, and good performance on graduate level placement exams.

Degree Requirements (81 credit hours)

The Doctor of Engineering with a major in Civil and Environmental Engineering is divided into three parts: Coursework, Dissertation, and Examination.

Coursework

Coursework consists of 51 post-baccalaureate course credit hours at the graduate level. Up to 30 graduate credit hours may be transferred but at least 21 additional graduate credits must be accrued at 91福利社. Coursework is divided into:
