University of Notre Dame.This
program has been designed to
build upon a student’s
undergraduate background and
provide additional depth and
breadth in the challenging and
versatile profession of Civil
Engineering.
Options of study are
available in
Structural/Geotechnical
Engineering. In addition to
courses in engineering,
technical electives may be
chosen from a variety offered in
mathematics, physics, and
chemistry. Students interested
in the areas of Environmental
Engineering and Water Resources
should refer to the Master of
Science in Environmental
Engineering Program..
Topics for thesis research
could come from areas such as
structural mechanics, including
finite element analysis, or
geotechnical mechanics,
including soil-structure
interaction, and earthquake
engineering. Study of
engineering failures in
structures and/or geotechnical
mechanics is also encouraged.
Part-time students from industry
are encouraged to select, with
their advisory committee
chairperson, job-related topics.
