Master of Science in Engineering - Civil Engineering (Thesis Option)

Students develop multidisciplinary engineering skills with academic depth and industry driven application focus. The graduate program at the Ingram School of Engineering (ISoE) provides students with the necessary knowledge, skills, and practical experience to excel in the industry. Our program emphasizes research and professional development, providing students with opportunities to engage in cutting-edge research projects, get certifications and attend training sessions that keep them at the forefront of their field. ISoE has active Industrial Advisory Boards consisting of alums and representatives from the local industry, ensuring that our curriculum remains relevant, accredited, and meets the demands of the industry.
The Master of Science (M.S.) degree with a major in Engineering provides a practical, industry-driven focus via a long-term, targeted technical project or thesis related to real-world engineering applications. These projects will be conducted in partnership with local industries and may involve off-campus collaborations. The degree requires a large-scale project or thesis because the abilities to solve problems, innovate and make immediate contributions to industry are best developed by having students confront a substantial, open-ended problem; perform detailed research on the problem; develop various solutions; choose and implement the best solution; validate their choice; and effectively communicate the process to professional colleagues, executives, and customers.
