Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering- Water Resources

The Department of Civil and Construction Engineering offers three graduate degree programs, Master of Engineering (MEng), Master of Science in Civil Engineering (M.S.), and Doctorate in Civil Engineering (Ph.D.). Students can focus their work in different areas of civil engineering and make use of specialized facilities to complete their work.

The graduate program in Water Resources Engineering at Oregon State University emphasizes interdisciplinary research and education on emerging themes related to environmental hydraulics hazards (e.g., floods, explosive air-water geyser flows, etc.), hydroinformatics, water resources systems analysis, watershed hydrology, flood management, green storm water infrastructure, water sustainability, and adaptation planning. The instructional program aims at developing strong abilities to conduct engineering work involving basic concepts and principles, technical analysis, planning, design and management. Our program seeks to enable students to pursue research topics that cross the traditional boundaries of water resources engineering, and to prepare students for leadership positions in academia, private, and public sectors.

The Department of Civil and Construction Engineering offers three graduate degree programs, Master of Engineering (MEng), Master of Science in Civil Engineering (M.S.), and Doctorate in Civil Engineering (Ph.D.). Students can focus their work in seven different areas of civil engineering and make use of specialized facilities to complete their work. Each area of specialization has different requirements for each degree program.The School of Civil and Construction Engineering uses innovative and effective learning methods to train future leaders of architectural, civil, and construction engineering. Committed to pursuing new knowledge, the school works to ensure safe, resilient, and sustainable environments.

Civil engineering is the design, construction, and maintenance of public works, including roads, bridges, harbors, etc. At Oregon State University our programs in civil engineering prepare students to become working professional civil engineering and academic researchers who study civil engineering problems.All undergraduate students upon graduation are eligible to take the National Fundamentals of Engineering, F.E., examination and students with an additional 16 quarter hours of surveying/geomatics courses can take in Oregon the Fundamentals of Surveying, F.S., examination. These examinations are the first step to becoming a licensed Professional Engineer or Professional Surveyor.
