Overview

The Department's of Civil and Environmental Engineering from University of Tennessee Knoxville mission is to integrate research and education in civil and environmental engineering through teaching that emphasizes both fundamentals and their application in engineering design; research that provides both the innovations of today and trains the innovators of tomorrow; a permeating culture of professionalism, ethics, innovation, and life-long learning; and service that supports, promotes, and nurtures the professional and educational communities in which we are engaged.Both options require completion of a set of core courses related to the student’s selected concentration.

Thesis Option

A minimum of 30 credit hours of approved graduate courses, including 6 credit hours of thesis and 24 credit hours of coursework. A minor may be selected but is not required.

Non-Thesis Option

A minimum of 30 credit hours of approved graduate courses is required, which may include a three-hour special problems course to be completed under the direction of the student’s major professor. A minor may be selected but is not necessarily required. All non-thesis MS students are required to take a culminating written examination. The written exam is offered twice a year once each in the fall and spring semesters.

Non-Thesis Exam

All non-thesis Environmental Engineering MS students must pass a final comprehensive written examination for the degree. The criteria for passing the written exam is a “B,” which has been interpreted to be a 75 overall average on the fundamentals and applications parts. If a student fails the exam, the student may retake the exam the following semester. The result of the second examination is final. The MS committee may choose to use an oral examination as a forum for testing a marginally-failing student (70–74 average).
