土木工程理学硕士-岩土工程

岩土工程是土木工程领域，涉及土壤，岩石，其他地球和土工材料的工程行为。岩土工程调查现有的地下条件和材料，并确定与正在考虑的项目相关的物理/机械/化学特性。典型的项目包括结构基础的设计，土坝，斜坡，隧道的设计，地下废物的处理以及与其他与地球材料相关的各种主题。岩土工程研究生课程扩展了本科水平的基础课程，从而从实践和理论的角度进一步了解了土层材料。研究的主要领域包括土壤力学，基础工程与设计以及岩土工程中的数值应用。其他领域包括材料工程，地质，土壤物理学，数学和化学工程。提供了许多积极的研究计划，并鼓励学生参与
The field of Civil and Environmental Engineering represents challenging and rewarding professions that serve the needs of the public at all levels from locally to internationally. Our graduates practice in local, state and government agencies, small, medium and large consulting firms both domestic and internationally to launch careers in fields such as law, medicine and venture capitalism.<br><br>Each graduate student works out an individual degree plan with their advisor tailored to their needs. There are six academic areas to choose from. The degree requires the completion of at least 30 credit hours beyond the bachelor's degree, including a research thesis for which no more than six credit hours may be granted. The non-thesis option (32 credit hours) may be permitted at the discretion of the student's advisory committee.
