 Return to: School of Graduate Engineering and Applied Science
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers several areas of study for those interested in pursuing an advanced degree in civil engineering. These degrees can lead to employment opportunities in government, industry, or academia. Our graduate program offers the following degrees:
• Master of Engineering (ME) in Civil Engineering **
• Master of Science (MS) in Civil Engineering
• Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Civil Engineering
** Students may complete the M.E. either on-grounds, or through the Commonwealth Graduate Engineering Program (CGEP).
Students completing an MS or PhD in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering are actively involved in the department’s research program. The research program is organized into two focus areas:
Environmental and Water Resources: Our research in environmental and water resources engineering is largely focused on developing environmentally-sustainable technologies relating to water, energy, and transportation infrastructure. This work covers a broad range of topics, including: optimizing management of local and international water supply; modeling contaminant fate and transport in natural systems and engineered treatment facilities; development of technologies and approaches to mitigate global climate change and its induced impacts on environmental quality; and life cycle assessment (LCA)-based evaluation of infrastructure systems.
Infrastructure Engineering: Our research in infrastructure engineering focuses on improving the design, construction, and operation of civil infrastructure, most notably transportation infrastructure, for optimal sustainability and resilience. The department has considerable modeling and experimental expertise related to: “smart” materials; structural health monitoring and condition assessment; solid mechanics; alternative mobility and intelligent transportation; and geotechnical engineering.
For more detailed information about the department, degree programs, and research areas, visit the website at cee.virginia.edu.
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering participates in the Commonwealth Graduate Engineering Program (CGEP) by presenting graduate-level courses in a distributed learning environment. CGEP students achieve a Master of Engineering degree. CGEP students participate in class sessions alongside their student peers sitting in the classroom, accessing the interactive sessions via their computer and internet connection. Class sessions are also recorded for later viewing/reviewing.
