CSE Option in Civil and Environmental Engineering
CSE Option in Civil and Environmental Engineering
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) offers CSE Options in both the M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs. Students electing the CSE Option for either degree program are expected to satisfy all regular requirements for graduate study in CEE. A student will normally be able to satisfy the requirements for the CSE Option by taking elective courses within the CEE graduate programs.
M.S. Program
For the M.S. in CEE with the CSE Option, the following additional requirements must be satisfied: four hours of course work must be from CSE core courses, and four additional hours of course work must be from an approved list of computational application courses. The M.S. thesis, if any, must have a significant computational component.
Ph.D. Program
For the Ph.D. in CEE with the CSE Option, the following additional requirements must be satisfied: eight hours of course work must be from CSE core courses, and eight additional hours of course work must be from an approved list of computational application courses, and four additional hours from the numerical computing or computer software, hardware, and graphics lists of CSE courses. The Ph.D. thesis must have a significant computational component, and the thesis committee must include at least one CSE-affiliated faculty member from a department other than CEE.
