The graduate program of the department empowers our students to gain technical, design, and management skills necessary for leadership. We emphasize fundamental principles and design methods that apply to many career paths. The research activities in the Department include new developments in structural analysis and design, soil exploration and testing techniques, surface and groundwater studies, pavemen analysis and design, and the treatment of waste water and remediation of polluted soil. Research may involve theoretical developments, physical testing, and computer modeling. Our research deepens the understanding of the underlying science and engineering practice. There are various fields in the department including geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, water resources engineering, environmental engineering and highway engineering. The department encourages students to apply their classroom knowledge and develop their creative potential and ability through various on and off campus activities. Most graduates go on to work in government, research centers, or public and private construction and engineering companies.
