Certificate Programs

The Department offers several graduate certificate programs that are designed to provide the necessary background for civil engineers to practice in the particular field covered by the certificate program. The program will offer an in-depth understanding of the issues that an engineer may encounter in practice.

Environmental Engineering Program:
This program is particularly appropriate for individuals interested in the areas of hazardous waste remediation and water/wastewater treatment. To obtain the certificate, the student must complete a total of four courses, including three required courses and one elective course.

Geoenvironmental Engineering Program:
This program is designed to provide the necessary background for civil engineers to practice in the field of geo-environmental engineering. The program will offer an in-depth understanding of the following issues that a geo-environmental engineer may encounter in practice.

Structural Engineering Program:
This program is particularly appropriate for those who wish to gain specialized knowledge in one of the following tracks: earthquake engineering design of bridges and buildings, extreme event design of structures to resist the effects of accidental explosions and vehicular collision, concrete bridge design using the LRFD approach, or building design using the LRFD approach.

Transportation Engineering Program:
This program provides students with the key knowledge and skills required to understand and practice in the field of transportation engineering with a focus in either intelligent transportation systems or congestion mitigation or transportation safety.

Smart Cities and Transportation Program:
This program provides students with the key knowledge and skills required to understand and apply smart technology for operating a data-rich smart urban environment.
