Doutorado em Engenharia Civil e Ambiental

Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at SMU has a long tradition of excellence in serving people and society. Today, we continue this tradition by developing the fundamental and applied technologies that have an impact on people’s lives.

Our faculty, graduate and undergraduate students work on some of the world’s most pressing problems including natural and manmade hazards, civil infrastructure, the environment and energy, water, and earth systems. The faculty within the CEE department brings together solid engineering and scientific expertise to offer undergraduate and graduate degrees, as well as research programs that place emphasis on the broad areas of smart infrastructure and the environment. In our degree programs, innovative classroom teaching intersects with research, hands-on experiences, service-based learning, lecture series, and field trips.

As a result of Lyle’s outstanding technical professional and leadership development, our alumni have a history of success in the industry, consulting, national laboratories, and academia.

Why Civil and Environmental Engineering?

At Lyle, Civil and Environmental Engineering students master and apply fundamentals toward the analysis and design of infrastructure components and systems through B.S., M.S., M.A., and Ph.D. degree programs.

Within these programs, students form comprehensive expertise in one or more technical areas. As students begin to develop individual passions in certain subjects in Civil and Environmental Engineering, the Department allows flexibility within degree program options to accommodate numerous combinations of specialty areas, minors, and dual majors.

Extracurricular activities include research and service partnerships with multidisciplinary teams of faculty and students in other Lyle academic areas, departments, and Institutes that provide broader contexts and opportunities for unique learning experiences.

SMU's Moody School of Graduate and Advanced Studies is proud to offer doctoral and master’s degrees in a wide variety of fields across four different colleges and schools: the Dedman College of Humanities and Sciences, the Lyle School of Engineering, the Meadows School of the Arts, and the Simmons School of Education and Human Development.
