Overview

For technical competence in specialized areas and continued effectiveness on the job, graduate study is becoming increasingly necessary.

Features

The Civil Engineering Department at the California State University Sacramento offers a graduate program of study leading to a Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering in the following areas of specialization:

Environmental/Water Quality Engineering - water quality analysis and management, water, and waste treatment;

Geotechnical Engineering - properties and behavior of soil and their application to design of foundation, retaining structures, earth dams and slopes, soil improvement and ground stabilization, geosynthetics inclusions, and soil dynamics, and earthquake engineering;

Structural Engineering - earthquake resistant steel and concrete design applied to buildings and bridges, structural dynamics, structural mechanics, and finite element methods;

Transportation Engineering - Transportation engineering and planning, traffic flow theory, and system management applicable to all modes with emphasis on highway and multi modal transportation; interdisciplinary study with other areas of Civil Engineering as well as with non-engineering areas (e.g., Environmental Studies, Geography, Public Policy & Administration, and Business Administration) may also be arranged; and

Water Resources Engineering - advanced hydraulics and modern hydrologic techniques, flood forecasting, groundwater flow modeling, water resources management, and policy formulation.
