The Master of Engineering concentration in Structural Engineering is a forward-looking curriculum that offers state-of-the-art and emerging techniques in structural behavior and design. Our program is aimed at educating highly qualified engineers and preparing them to develop resilient, sustainable, and advanced structures for leading firms and governmental agencies.
Our curriculum is built on three fundamental themes:
- Behavior & Design
- Advanced Materials
- Analysis & Computation
The program requires foundational courses in each focus area as well as the flexibility to tailor the balance of the curriculum with a breadth of electives aligned with the student’s area of focus.
