土木与环境工程哲学博士

硕士或博士学位的学生 程序可以选择一个集中区域。每个博士生 计划必须在获得MS学位后立即进行资格考试；如果学生获得了MS学位，则必须在抵达后的9个月内接受资格考试。有关MS和博士学位的其他信息。市民基础设施系统旨在通过其他视角和系统方法来应对新挑战，从而扩大基础设施工程中的传统教育。这些新挑战是：了解结构如何作为一个组件系统运行，以及各个结构如何一起作为基础结构系统运行，并了解它们所存在的社会，经济，政治和文化背景下的基础结构工程的技术方面。此外，必须考虑长期维护，操作和破坏以及影响基础设施系统设计和分析
Students in the M.S. or Ph.D. program may select one area of concentration. Each student in the Ph.D. program must take a qualifying examination shortly after receiving the M.S. degree, or, if a student comes to Cornell with an M.S. degree, within nine months after arrival. Additional information on the M.S. and Ph.D. programs is available on request from the graduate field office. <br>Civil Infrastructure Systems aims to augment the traditional education in infrastructure engineering with additional perspectives and systems methods to address new challenges. These new challenges are: understanding how structures behave as a system of components and how individual structures behave together as an infrastructure system and understanding the technical aspects of infrastructure engineering within the social, economic, political and cultural context in which they exist. Further, consideration must be given to long-term maintenance, operation and destruction and uncertainties that affect infrastructure system design and analysis.
