Return to Department.  

Please see the Program Policy Document  for more information.

Program Educational Goals:


Graduates obtaining the MAS from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering with a concentration in Water Resources Engineering will be able to:

  • Demonstrate an understanding of fundamental principles and knowledge in water resources engineering including groundwater hydraulics, contaminant transport, and hydrology.
  • Read, assess, and critically review published literature and research findings in water resources engineering.
  • Recognize and discuss new techniques, skills, and tools used in water resources engineering.
  • Communicate water resources engineering concepts effectively in writing, orally, and graphically.
  • Relate science and engineering concepts and collaborate on interdisciplinary teams to address problems of societal significance.

Degree Requirements


The Master of Applied Sciences (MAS) degree is awarded to students who, upon admission, have a non-engineering undergraduate degree. Students pursuing the MAS degree complete a thesis and declare a concentration.

Formally, the student must perform 24 credit hours of course work and 6 credit hours of thesis. The MAS degree is also suited to those who, upon graduation, wish to pursue their PhD. Students are also required to enroll in the CIEG 865 - Civil Engineering Seminar  each semester.

Concentration Requirements


The Master of Applied Sciences degree with a concentration in Water Resources Engineering requires three core courses, one approved 600-level Math or Statistics course, and four electives.  

Math or Statistics Course:


  • One approved 600-level course in Mathematics or Statistics.

Note


In addition, classes from other departments can be selected in consultation with your advisor. These include graduate-level courses offered by Geography, Geology, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Marine Studies, Plant and Soil Sciences, or Urban Affairs and Public Policy.
