Civil Engineering

Graduate work and research in Civil Engineering reflects the very broad nature of the field, which has as its purpose the enhancement of the infrastructure of society. The educational program includes course work in structural analysis and design, geotechnical engineering and foundations, transportation planning and operations, and water resources. Faculty research interests include geotechnical studies of subsurface conditions, soil testing and design of advanced testing devices, intelligent transportation systems, traffic safety, structural dynamics, nonlinear structural analysis and software development, reinforced concrete, and wind engineering. Students completing the program find positions in consulting firms, construction and construction-related industries, and in city, county, state, and federal government agencies.

Environmental Engineering

The Environmental Engineering program concerns itself with prevention and correction of pollution effects on the natural and man-made environments. Strong faculty research interests have resulted in a program of distinction for the college and the university. Applied and basic research interests include the general areas of water treatment, wastewater treatment, solid and hazardous waste management, atmospheric pollution control, air quality modeling, community noise prediction/abatement, and stormwater management. Students with strong science or engineering backgrounds have a variety of research areas and levels of interest which they can pursue. Those completing the program find job opportunities in federal, state, and local governments, consulting, and industry.

Degree Programs

The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department offers Master of Science degrees in Civil Engineering (M.S.C.E.) and Environmental Engineering (M.S.Env.E.). In addition, more specialized Master of Science (M.S.) degrees are offered in Structures and Foundations, Transportation Systems Engineering, Environmental Engineering Sciences, and Water Resources Engineering. The department also offers Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in both Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering.

There are two options for the master’s degree programs: the thesis option and the non-thesis option. The thesis option is available in all master’s degree programs and requires a thesis that is equivalent to 6 hours out of a total of 30 hours. It is the required option for students on contracts and grants as well as any student receiving department financial support.

The non-thesis option is also available for all master’s degree programs and requires 36 course work hours and a comprehensive final oral and written examination as a requirement for graduation. This option is recommended only for part-time students on a limited access basis.

Admission

For admission to the advanced degree programs in civil or environmental engineering, students must have completed a bachelor of science degree. Applicants who are applying to the programs without a directly related undergraduate degree should closely check the prerequisites. Admittance to the programs requires a combined verbal and quantitative score of 1000 on the Graduate Record Examination (or 450 on the GMAT) or a grade point average of 3.0 or greater in the last 60 attempted semester hours of undergraduate studies. International applicants must be in the top one-half of their graduating class if only meeting the GRE requirement. In addition, international applicants may have their transcript evaluated by the World Education Services (WES) to meet the minimum grade point average in cases where they do not meet the GRE requirement.

Master of Science in Civil Engineering

The department offers a Master of Science in Civil Engineering (M.S.C.E.) degree to students who have an undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering or another closely related engineering degree. As such, math through differential equations and all prerequisite classes for graduate courses is required. The degree requires 30 semester hours of acceptable graduate work which includes a thesis (6 semester hours), or 36 semester hours of acceptable graduate work with a comprehensive final examination. Four defined tracks are available for this degree: general civil engineering, structural and geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, and water resources engineering.

Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering or Environmental Engineering

The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree requires a student to have completed a master’s degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering or a closely related discipline. The Ph.D. program in Civil Engineering is intended to allow a student to study in depth, with emphasis on research in a specific area, structural analysis and design, geotechnical engineering and foundations, transportation planning and operations, and water resources. The Ph.D. program in Environmental Engineering is intended to allow a student to study and conduct research in a specific area of water treatment, wastewater treatment, solid and hazardous waste management, atmospheric pollution control and/or modeling, community noise abatement, or stormwater management.

Doctoral Program Admission

In addition to satisfying regular university admissions criteria, the student must have a master’s degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering or a closely related discipline from a recognized institution and achieve a combined verbal and quantitative score of 1100 on the Graduate Record Examination (or equivalent GMAT score). Prospective applicants should forward a detailed resume and a letter with research interests for department review with the application. In addition, the student must pass a Ph.D. Qualifying Examination in one of the departmental disciplines. This examination must be taken within the first year of study beyond the master’s degree.

Doctoral Degree Requirements

The Ph.D. degree requires a minimum of 81 semester hours beyond the bachelor’s degree, 24 of which will be dissertation credits, and 6 of which must be from courses taken outside the department while at UCF. A maximum of 36 semester hours, which may include 6 thesis hours, may be transferred from a master’s degree toward these requirements. A program of study must be developed with an advisory committee and meet with departmental approval at the beginning of the Ph.D. program, at which time transfer credit will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis.

Examinations

In addition to the Qualifying Examination, the student must pass a Candidacy Examination and a Dissertation Defense Examination. The Candidacy Examination is normally taken near the end of the course work and consists of a written portion and an oral presentation of a research proposal. A copy of the written examination will be kept as part of the student’s official record. The Dissertation Defense Examination is an oral examination taken as defense of the written dissertation.
