1. Degrees and Specializations Offered
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Master of Science (MSc) Master of Engineering (MEng) Areas of Study: Civil Engineering Biomedical Engineering Environmental Engineering Specializations include Avalanche Mechanics; Biomechanics; Bituminous Materials; Environmental Engineering; Geotechnical Engineering; Materials Engineering; Project Management; Structures & Solid Mechanics; Transportation Engineering; Water Resources | |
The Doctor of Philosophy(PhD) is a research-based degree that normally takes three years of full-time study following a Master's degree or four years following a Bachelor's degree. The major requirement is the successful completion of a thesis, which is an original and significant contribution to knowledge in the discipline. The program is intended for exceptional individuals who plan to pursue a career in research. The Master of Science (MSc) is also a research-based degree that normally takes two years of full-time study beyond the Bachelor's degree. The program requires a thesis, which is a contribution to knowledge in the discipline. The Master of Science degree is regarded as a valuable terminal degree as well as preparation for doctoral study. The course-based Master of Engineering (MEng), most often taken on a part-time basis, normally takes four to six years of part-time study beyond a Bachelor's degree. The thesis/project Master of Engineering (MEng) is most often taken on a part-time basis. The thesis/project is related to original engineering analysis. Note: The Project Management specialization requires a minimum of five years industrial experience for admission to graduate level programs. |
2. Admission Requirements
Master's Programs | See "Engineering Programs." |
Doctor of Philosophy | See "Engineering Programs." |
Project Management Specialization | A minimum of five years industrial experience, except in thesis-based degrees |
3. Application Deadline
Deadlines for submission of complete applications: 15 May for September admission 15 September for January admission 15 January for May admission |
4. Advanced Credit
The applicant must make advanced credit requests as part of the admission process. Credit will not be given for course work taken as part of another completed degree/diploma or for courses taken to bring the grade point average to a required level for admission. Successful completion of "make-up" work does not guarantee admission. It is recommended that applicants discuss this option with the Departmental Graduate Student Advisor before taking any courses. |
5. Program/Course Requirements
Note: If the student does not consult the supervisor before selecting courses, Department approval may be withheld. In addition to Faculty requirements, the Department normally requires: | |
Master of Science | (a)A minimum of four and a maximum of eight half-courses (b)Research and thesis work as major components of the program |
Master of Engineering (project/thesis route) | (a)Five to eight half-courses (b)A project/thesis related to original analysis and/or design |
Master of Engineering (courses only route) | (a)Ten to twelve half-courses (b)A comprehensive examination |
Doctor of Philosophy | (a)A minimum of six half-courses beyond the baccalaureate (b)A minimum of two and a maximum of six half-courses beyond the Master's degree (c)A detailed research proposal |
6. Additional Requirements
All full-time Master of Science and doctoral students are required to register and participate in the Research Seminar course (Civil Engineering 601) in each of the Fall and Winter terms |
7. Credit for Undergraduate Courses
Not more than two of the half-courses required in the thesis-based programs and not more than four of the half-courses taken in the course-based program may be taken at the 500-level. |
8. Time Limit
Expected completion time for a student completing a degree on a full-time basis is two years for a Master of Science degree and four years for a Doctor of Philosophy degree. Maximum completion time is four years for a Master of Science degree and six years for a Doctor of Philosophy degree. Maximum completion time for a Master of Engineering degree is six years. |
