The M.S. degree program is intended to provide students with additional fundamental knowledge as well as specialized advanced knowledge in selected structural engineering aspects over and above the undergraduate degree course work.
The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree program is intended to prepare students for careers in teaching, research, and/or in their chosen professional specialties. The Ph.D. program requires a departmental comprehensive examination, a Ph.D. candidacy examination, a Ph.D. dissertation based on new and unique research, and a dissertation defense.
Both degrees offer opportunities for training in one or more of the four research focus areas of the SE department which are in:
- Earthquake Engineering,
- Advanced Composites and Aerospace Structural Systems,
- Renewal Engineering, and
- Structural Health Monitoring, Prognosis and Validated Simulations.
