Master of Applied Science in Civil Engineering - Structural and Earthquake Engineering

Structural engineering is the science and art of designing, analysing and constructing structures. Traditional civil engineering structures include buildings, bridges, towers, and dams designed to resist seismic, wind, and gravity forces. The analytical tools developed by structural engineers, e.g., numerical analysis methods, non-linear material models, reliability theory, can be applied to a much wider range of "structure" types. Several areas of North America are prone to high seismic activity. While the greatest seismic risk is on the west coast, recent evidence indicates significant risk in other parts of the continent. Research has led to modern design methods that significantly reduce seismic risk for new structures.

Four-year bachelor degree in Civil Engineering.
