 The Faculty of Engineering and Architecture offers graduate programs of study leading to the degree of Master of Engineering (ME), with majors in civil engineering; environmental and water resources engineering; electrical and computer engineering; mechanical engineering; and chemical engineering. The Faculty also offers the degrees of Master of Engineering Management (MEM); Master of Urban Design (MUD); Master of Urban Planning and Policy (MUPP); Master of Engineering (ME), major applied energy; Master of Science in Chemical Engineering (MS); Master of Science in Construction Engineering (MS); Master of Science (MS), major biomedical engineering; and Master of Science in Energy Studies (MS). FEA also offers a Master of Science in Environmental Technology (MS) (as part of an Interfaculty Graduate Environmental Sciences Program). In addition, a professional diploma in green technologies with majors in energy, building, and water is offered in the faculty for professionals who wish to enhance their knowledge in the field.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers two graduate programs leading to the ME degree:

• Thesis Program

• Non-Thesis Program

Thesis Program Requirements

In order to fulfill the graduation requirements in the CE Thesis Program, a student must complete a minimum of 24 credit hours of graduate courses and a thesis based on independent research, equivalent to at least six credit hours. The required course work is distributed as follows: • A minimum of two core graduate courses (6 credit hours) in the area of specialty • A minimum of two graduate elective courses (6 credit hours) in the area of specialty.   A minimum of two graduate courses (6 credit hours) in the minor area • A maximum of two graduate elective courses (6 credit hours) in a related field in engineering or science (Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Economics) • Comprehensive Exam (CIVE 799T) • Seminar course (CIVE 600B) The courses that fall in the elective category must be pre-approved by the department. Up to two senior level civil engineering courses (CIVE 600 series), taken at the undergraduate level, can be counted towards the Master degree.

Non-Thesis Program Requirements

In order to fulfill the graduation requirements in the Non-Thesis Program, a student must complete a minimum of 33 credit hours of graduate courses. The required course work is distributed as follows: • A minimum of three core graduate courses (9 credit hours) in the area of specialty • A minimum of three graduate elective courses (9 credit hours) in the area of specialty • A minimum of three graduate courses (9 credit hours) in the minor area • A maximum of two graduate elective courses (6 credit hours) in a related field in engineering or science (Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Economics) • Comprehensive Exam (CIVE 799T) • Seminar course (CIVE 600B) The courses that fall in the elective category must be pre-approved by the department. Up to three senior level civil engineering courses (CIVE 600 series), taken at the undergraduate level, can be counted towards the Master degree. 

 

To be eligible for admission to the graduate program a student must hold a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or a related field. Students with a bachelor degree in majors other than Civil Engineering must fulfill the prerequisite course requirements as set by the department. Students must also satisfy the requirements of the University and the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture for admission to graduate study, as specified in the relevant sections of this catalogue. Bachelor of Engineering holders from a 5-year equivalent engineering program may obtain a waiver for 9 credits of relevant graduate level courses from their BE degree as long as they maintain a minimum grade of 80 or its equivalent in each of these courses. Bachelor of Science holders must complete an additional 18 credits of engineering courses prior to enrollment in the Masters program and must achieve an average of at least 80 percent in these courses. No credit toward the graduate degree is given for these courses. A minimum of one calendar year of residence is required for graduation. The student must also satisfy all relevant FEA and AUB requirements.

The FEA offers three types of financial assistance to the most qualified applicants to its graduate programs: fellowships, graduate research assistantships (GRA), and graduate teaching assistantships (GA). The students who receive financial support are expected to maintain a high level of academic performance, satisfactory progress toward a degree, and a satisfactory performance of the work assignments associated with the aid. 

Fellowships, GRAs, and GAs, covering tuition and stipends are available for students at the graduate level in return for assisting faculty members in teaching and/or research for a specified number of hours per week in an academic department. Applicants are selected on the basis of their academic record and the needs of the relevant department.
