Graduate Program
Graduate Degree
Options
Three graduate degree programs are available in the Water Resources
Engineering area of specialization in the Department of Civil and
Environmental Engineering: (i) Master of
Science (M.S.),
(ii) Master of Engineering (M.Eng.),
and (iii) Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.).
For a complete
description of degree requirements, interested students are referred to
the departmental program handbooks for the M.S. / M.Eng
and the Ph.D.
degrees.
Degree Coursework
Requirements
In addition to the requirements listed below, all Hydrosystems graduate
students are required to annually enroll in CEE 597 - Hydrosystems
Seminar, which is offered every spring semester.
M.S. Degree
For the M.S. degree, a minimum of 30 credits are required. Six
credits of thesis research (CEE 600) are required. The remaining 24
credits are to be satisfied as follows:
- 12 credits of Core Curriculum
- 6 credits of Water
Resources Electives
- 6 credits of Technical
Electives
M.Eng. Degree
For the M.Eng. degree, a minimum of 30 credits are required. The
30 credits are to be satisfied as follows:
- 12 credits of Core Curriculum
- 9 credits of Water
Resources Electives
- 9 credits of Technical
Electives
Ph.D. Degree
For the Ph.D. degree, a minimum of 30 credits, six of which may be
thesis research (CEE 600), are suggested. The remaining 24 credits are
to be satisfied as follows:
- 12 credits of Core Curriculum
- 6 credits of Water
Resources Electives
- 6 credits of Technical
Electives
Core Curriculum
The core curriculum provides students with a comprehensive foundation
in water-resources topics including hydrdology, hydraulics, and river
mechanics. Students who have previously completed equivalent classes
may
substitute additional hydrosystems or technical electives in their
place.
- CE 462 - Open Channel Hydraulics
- CE 555 - Groundwater Hydrology
- CE 561 - Fundamentals of Surface Hydrology
- CE 567 - River Engineering OR CE 562 - Coastal and
Nearshore Hydraulics OR CE 580 - Hydrodynamic Mixing Processes
Water Resources
Electives
Water Resources electives allow students to develop additional
expertise in their areas of specialization.
- CE 551 - Random Processes in Hydrologic Systems
- CE 552 - Coastal and Nearshore Processes
- CE 556 - Tracer and Contaminant Transport in Groundwater
- CE 563 - Systems

Technical Electives
Technical electives, an incomplete list of which follows, allow
students to develop breadth by obtaining expertise in related fields
outside the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Students
interested in satisfying their technical elective requirements with
classes not listed below should discuss this option with their academic
advisors. For information on the content and scheduling of the classes
