Master of Science [M.S] [Civil Engineering] From Texas Tech University

The technological revolution, population growth and environmental concerns all create a challenge to civil engineers. The next few decades will be the most creative, demanding and rewarding times.

Civil engineering is about development and improvement. It involves planning, design, construction and operation of facilities essential to modern life. Civil engineers solve problems to meet the challenges of pollution, traffic congestion, water supplies, energy needs, waste management, urban redevelopment and community planning. Future civil engineers must have the ability to interact with and compete in a global economy. They will have a vital role in improving the quality of life in the 21st century.

The Department of Civil, Environmental, and Construction Engineering offers two master's degrees: Master of Science in Civil Engineering (M.S.C.E.) and Master of Environmental Engineering (M.Env.E.) with specialties in structural engineering and engineering mechanics, geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, environmental engineering, water resources engineering, wind engineering, and computational mechanics.
