Environmental Engineering In order to master real-life engineering problems, engineers need to have a education with both breadth as well as depth. Therefore, students must chose an area of technical specialization upon enrollment and satisfy the core course requirements as defined below. Failing to meet the core course requirements will result in delay in graduation. A proposed program of study (http://www.eng.fiu.edu/cee/Graduate_Forms.htm) shall be developed by a student’s academic advisor together with the student and approved by the Graduate Program Director. Environmental engineering students are required to take at least one course in each of the following core areas:
Furthermore, it is advisable that the students gain some expertise in environmental chemistry and in computational techniques including GIS techniques while seeking knowledge in new areas of research and development. Students are also required to register for one credit of the Graduate Environmental Seminar (ENV 6935) and are strongly encouraged to continue attending it while registering in the program.
This field involves the analysis of qualitative and quantitative water issues and the search for integrated, innovative and sustainable solutions to problems in the surface, groundwater and atmospheric water environments. Students pursuing a M.Sc. in Civil Engineering with concentration in Water Resources Engineering will follow a program of study that includes 15 credit-hours of engineering coursework emphasizing advanced knowledge and applications in either hydrology, hydraulics or hydrosystems or their combination thereof. The students will also complete a 3 credit-hour independent study to enrich the area of sought expertise. Students are required to take the Graduate Seminar (CGN 6939 or ENV 6935) once and are strongly encouraged to attend it while registered in the program. Students may also include up to 6-credit hours from other civil engineering areas or related disciplines, as long as the subjects relevantly add to the student’s water resources engineering knowledge.
Students enrolled in the Master or PhD Programs in Civil Engineering and specializing in the area of Structural/Construction/Geotechnical should take at least twelve (12) credit hours of core course work as follows:
Furthermore, it is advisable that the students gain some expertise in structural mechanics and numerical methods. The students must also complete either a 6-credit thesis or a 3-credit engineering project.
A student who choses to specialize in transportation engineering must complete a minimum of five courses from the list below:
