Overview

The Civil and Environmental Engineering includes four areas in which M.Eng. students can focus, at Cornell University:

Structural Engineering

The Master of Engineering Program in Structural Mechanics and Materials at Cornell University is a forward-looking educational curriculum that affords its students with an opportunity to gain a firm foundation in solid mechanics, structural behavior, applied mathematics, and scientific computing. Developing resilient, sustainable, and advanced structures require a deep understanding of structural materials, how they can be used in extreme conditions, and how they fail. The program is aimed at educating highly qualified and well-prepared engineers, with a firm grasp of the state-of-the-art and emerging techniques in structural engineering and structural mechanics, to support advanced practice within leading firms, national laboratories, and government agencies.

Environmental Engineering

The faculty in Environmental Engineering are passionate about water, the environment, energy, and the creation of new solutions for evolving environmental challenges and want to share that excitement and knowledge with you. Courses and seminars span the water-energy nexus that include sustainable water supply and sustainable energy. More traditional topics include hydrology, wastewater treatment, environmental remediation, organic micro-pollutants and emerging contaminants. One also needs to understand how pollutants move through the environment so the program includes environmental fluid mechanics, environmental transport processes, experimental methods and monitoring, and numerical methods and modeling. After studying problems and understanding the issues, engineers need to develop solutions to manage our water and land resources, and to protect the environment.
