Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Master of Science (MSc)

Master of Engineering (MEng)

Areas of Study:

Civil Engineering

Biomedical Engineering

Environmental Engineering

Specializations include Avalanche Mechanics; Biomechanics; Bituminous Materials; Environmental Engineering; Geotechnical Engineering; Materials Engineering; Project Management; Structures & Solid Mechanics; Transportation Engineering; Water Resources

The Doctor of Philosophy(PhD) is a research-based degree that normally takes three years of full-time study following a Master's degree or four years following a Bachelor's degree. The major requirement is the successful completion of a thesis, which is an original and significant contribution to knowledge in the discipline. The program is intended for exceptional individuals who plan to pursue a career in research.

The Master of Science (MSc) is also a research-based degree that normally takes two years of full-time study beyond the Bachelor's degree. The program requires a thesis, which is a contribution to knowledge in the discipline. The Master of Science degree is regarded as a valuable terminal degree as well as preparation for doctoral study.

The course-based Master of Engineering (MEng), most often taken on a part-time basis, normally takes four to six years of part-time study beyond a Bachelor's degree.

The thesis-based Master of Engineering (MEng) is most often taken on a part-time basis. The research is related to original engineering analysis.

Note: The Project Management specialization requires a minimum of five years industrial experience for admission to graduate level programs.

Master's Programs

See "Engineering Programs."

Doctor of Philosophy

See "Engineering Programs."

Project Management Specialization

A minimum of five years industrial experience, except in thesis-based degrees

Deadlines for submission of complete applications:

15 May for September admission

15 September for January admission

15 January for May admission

The applicant must make advanced credit requests as part of the admission process. Credit will not be given for course work taken as part of another completed degree/diploma or for courses taken to bring the grade point average to a required level for admission. Successful completion of "make-up" work does not guarantee admission. It is recommended that applicants discuss this option with the Departmental Graduate Student Advisor before taking any courses.

Note: If the student does not consult the supervisor before selecting courses, Department approval may be withheld.

In addition to Faculty requirements, the Department normally requires:

Master of Science

(a)A minimum of four and a maximum of eight half-courses

(b)Research and thesis work as major components of the program

Master of Engineering (thesis route)

(a)Five to eight half-courses

(b)A thesis related to original analysis and/or design

Master of Engineering (courses only route)

(a)Ten to twelve half-courses

(b)A comprehensive examination

Doctor of Philosophy

(a)A minimum of six half-courses beyond the baccalaureate

(b)A minimum of two and a maximum of six half-courses beyond the Master's degree

(c)A detailed research proposal

All full-time Master of Science and doctoral students, except for those registered in ENEN 601 or BMEN 605 or BMEN 607, are required to register and participate in the Research Seminar course Civil Engineering 601.

Not more than two of the half-courses required in the thesis-based programs and not more than four of the half-courses taken in the MEng program may be taken at the 500-level.

Expected completion time for a student completing a degree on a full-time basis is two years for a Master of Science degree and four years for a Doctor of Philosophy degree. Maximum completion time is four years for a Master of Science degree and six years for a Doctor of Philosophy degree. Maximum completion time for a thesis Master of Engineering degree is four years and maximum completion time for a course-based Master of Engineering is six years.
