cle management and design for disassembly of urban infrastructure

• apply sustainable practices in all areas of urban infrastructure through partnerships with industry and mu-

nicipal governments - water resources and treatment, geotechnical management, transportation materials
and analysis of transportation systems, novel composite materials, green building techniques, building in-

formation modeling and computational approaches to design

Civil, environmental and sustainable engineering - Students are admitted to one of the following research

speciality areas:

1. Environmental Engineering

2. Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering

3. Hydrosystems Engineering

4. Structural and Materials Engineering

5. Sustainability Engineering

The Sustainability Engineering speciality area emphasizes flexibility and individuality. Students from

many different engineering and physical science backgrounds may enter this specialty area and de-
sign a plan of study that supports their original research and professional development goals. Faculty

in the Sustainability Engineering specialty area study topics at the intersection of multiple fields, in-

cluding alternative energy, transportation, earth systems and the environment.

Additional Requirements:

If the applicant does not have an undergraduate degree in civil engineering, the following deficiencies
constitute the minimum requirement. Additional requirements may be placed based upon the appli-

cant's background. Students must earn a grade of "B" or better in each deficiency course.

Sufficient courses in mathematics including but not limited to calculus, differential equations, and li-

near algebra, physics and chemistry.

CEE 210 and CEE 212 Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Dynamics or equivalent.

CHM 114 General Chemistry for Engineers or equivalent.

6. Transportation Engineering

Graduates are expected to achieve the following outcomes at graduation:

1. Knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.

2. Ability to design and conduct experiments, and to collect, analyze, and interpret data on civil engine-
ering applications.

3. Ability to design civil engineering systems, components, and processes, in conjunction with econo-

mic, environmental, ethical, sustainability and other considerations.

4. Ability to work in, and provide leadership for, diverse teams in the solution of engineering problems.

5. Ability to identify, formulate, and solve civil engineering problems.

6. Understanding of professional, sustainability and ethical issues.
