M.Eng. - Civil and Environmental Engineering Management

The Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering Management is designed for those who are involved in technical management of civil and environmental engineering projects. The course-work is focused on core courses and capstone in the Engineering Management Department, as well as technical electives in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department in Structural, Geotechnical, Environmental/Water Resources, or Transportation Engineering.

How to Apply

Degree Requirements

At the earliest possible date, preferably within the first term but no later that the second term following admission, a candidate must prepare a program of study in consultation with his/her advisor. A copy of the Program of Study Form
should be on file with the Department.

It is possible for students to obtain an MEngCEEM degree in the options outlined below.

Course-work Option (48 credit hours)

This option requires a minimum of 48 hours of approved graduate course work, which may include up to 8 hours of CE 501, 504, 505, or 506. Approved course work includes 8 credits in area other than major emphasis, subject to the approval of student's advisor and department, and a 4-credit capstone.

Internship Option(48 credit hours)

This option requires a minimum of 48 hours of approved graduate course work. Approved course work includes 8 credits in area other than major emphasis, subject to the approval of student's advisor and department, and a 4-credit capstone.

Up to 13 credits of CE 504 Internship may be used to fulfill degree requirements. Internship credits must be arranged a priori between CEE faculty member and the graduate student. Usually this involves completing a project while working and completing a final report. The internship plan must also be approved by the Department.

Capstone Requirement

To fulfill the 4 credit capstone requirement, one of the following must be taken:

  • EMGT 503 M.S. Thesis (credit to be arranged) - Arranged by consent of the instructor.
  • EMGT 506 Special Project in ETM (credit to be arranged) - Arranged by consent of the instructor.
  • EMGT 589 Capstone Project (4 credits) - Students conduct individual research on a Capstone project approved by the faculty member who
    supervises the work. Findings are presented in the form of a report after being accepted by the supervising professor. Prerequisite: EMP
    core or equivalent.
  • EMGT 590 Engineering Management Synthesis (4 credits) - This is the Capstone course in the Engineering and Technology Management Program. It synthesizes the concepts and methodologies of engineering and technology management into an individual or group project. The research base for the project may come from any combination of the study areas covered in the Technology Management Program. Prerequisite: Completion of the Engineering and Technology Management Program core courses or equivalents.

Students can either choose one of the 4 credit courses or the 8 credits for the thesis option to meet the Capstone requirement.

Continuation Criteria

Civil Engineering courses for which the student receives a grade of "C+" or lower will not be counted toward fulfilling the requirements, and a candidate is disqualified if he/she receives a grade of "C+" or lower in four Civil Engineering courses.

Advancement to Candidacy

There are several documents that must be submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies within the final two terms of candidate's graduate study. These documents are:

  1. GO-12, Advancement to Candidacy (due at the beginning of the term of graduation;
  2. GO-16M, Final Oral Examination Committee (when applicable);
  3. GO-17M, Recommendation for the Degree;
  4. Application for Degree.

The deadlines for these documents are published by the Office of Graduate
Studies each term. It is the responsibility of the graduate student to prepare the appropriate documents in consultation with his/her advisor and submit for approval.
