Doctor's degrees in Civil Engineering, General: A program that generally prepares individuals to apply mathematical and scientific principles to the design, development and operational evaluation of structural, load-bearing, material moving, transportation, water resource, and material control systems; and environmental safety measures.
Students who have not specialized in civil engineering as undergraduates, as well as those who have, may be admitted for graduate study. As preparation for advanced study and research, a good four year undergraduate program in mathematics and the sciences may
be substituted for a four-year undergraduate engineering course, with the approval of the faculty. The qualifications of each applicant will be considered individually, and, after being enrolled,...
The Ph.D. degree is awarded for original research on a significant civil engineering problem. Graduate students who have completed their M.S. degrees work closely with individual faculty members (see Faculty Research Interests below).

This includes intelligent use of natural resources such as the raw materials, energy, and ecosystems needed to sustain modern society. It also includes the design of functional and environmentally compatible facilities and infrastructure....
Study leading to the degree of doctor of philosophy is offered in two areas: environmental engineering and water resources and mechanics, materials, and structures. Each program has procedures for the completion of the general examination outlined under the appropriate areas of study.
Teaching experience is considered to be a significant part of graduate education. It is recommended that Ph.D. candidates assist with course instruction for at least...
While we're equipping our students with the knowledge and tools that can apply to the Civil and Environmental Engineering profession today, our real goal is to give students the advanced tools required to address where we the practice is headed in the coming decades. One of the real advantages for students at a cutting-edge research university like Stanford is that the advancements developed in our labs "trickle-down" and becomes quickly incorporated...
UMUC offered its first distance education courses in 1972. Today, more than 30 percent of our students are enrolled in courses that do not require on-site class attendance. The Internet serves as their link to the university.
