Overview
In MIT’s Civil and Environmental Engineering department, professors work on “big engineering.” The department solves problems like optimizing automobile traffic flow, designing global logistics systems, and conducting environmental impact analysis. LGO students in Civil and Environmental Engineering have the flexibility to build their own curriculum from the ground up or take a pre-defined track.
During the Civil and Environmental Engineering program of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), students are paired with a faculty advisor who helps them select courses, integrates them into the faculty’s research group, and oversees their LGO internship.
Careers
Because civil engineering is highly applicable to global organizations, CEE LGO graduates have excellent career prospects. Students work in a diverse range of industries, from aerospace to e-commerce. Graduates are excellently qualified to lead projects on systems optimization, data analytics, and global supply chains.
Research Areas
Civil and Environmental Engineering (Course 1) is organized into five research areas that students can pursue:
- Ecological Systems
- Resources and Sustainability
- Structures and Design
- Urban Systems
- Global Systems
Programme Structure
LGO students completing the MS in Civil and Environmental Engineering complete:
- The required courses in the LGO summer core
- Four engineering courses (at least three within the Civil and Environmental Engineering department) following the student’s interest and faculty advisor approval.
- Each LGO Civil Engineering student is paired with a faculty member, at the time of admission, who helps select courses that fulfill the department’s requirements and the student’s academic and career goals.
- An LGO Internship incorporating Civil Engineering content, resulting in a dual-degree thesis overseen by the student’s faculty advisor.
