Civil Engineering - Colorado School of Mines

Civil Engineering from Colorado School of Mines is a Campus Master Civil Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. The Civil Engineering graduate program enables students to combine an emphasis in geotechnical and/or structural engineering with the multidisciplinary engineering systems approach that is necessary in today's complex world. The M.S. degree programs is highly flexible ? promoting courses from a rich cadre of technical disciplines across campus in addition to the specialized civil engineering courses offered within the program. The program demands academic rigor and depth, and addresses the real-world problems of advanced engineering and technology. The choice of research topics and course offerings prepares graduates to become leaders in industry, academia and government. Research The problems facing civil , geotechnical and structural engineering are increasingly complex, more interdisciplinary, and require systems-level thinking. To this end, the research projects pursued by civil engineering systems faculty and students involve sensing, computation, signal and data processing. These projects require civil engineering faculty and students to collaborate in teams with experts in electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineering as well as geology, geophysics, mathematics, and computer science. Our current research areas include the following: Computational and analytical geomechanics Disaster assessment and mitigation Construction monitoring Coupled flows and unsaturated soil behavior Geo-construction sensing and automation Intelligent geo-systems High strength and self-consolidating concrete Vibration control and structural dynamics Advanced data processing and analysis for sensory systems Nondestructive evaluation and health monitoring Probabilistic geotechnics Master of Science, Engineering ? Civil The M.S. degree (thesis or non-thesis option) requires 36 credit hours. Students must complete a 1-credit hour Civil Engineering seminar and three core courses from the list above. M.S. students must also complete technical electives in civil engineering or other disciplines as approved by their advisor ? thesis option (14 credits), non-thesis option (26 credits). We strongly encourage our M.S. students to experience the wealth of world-class technical courses offered around campus in geophysics, geological engineering , computer science, mining engineering, mathematics, electrical engineering , mechanical engineering, chemical engineering , and environmental science and engineering. To complete the program, non-thesis students take six credits of independent study and thesis students take 12 credits of research leading to an M.S. thesis.
