МАГИСТР НАУК В ОБЛАСТИ ИНЖЕНЕРИИ И ПРИКЛАДНЫХ НАУК

MISSION OF THE PROGRAM

The Master of Science is a graduate degree with an emphasis on advanced training in engineering and applied sciences and prepares students through online and/or open learning programs for careers at the forefront of computing, research, business application and industrial progress. Students receiving the Master of Science degree may choose to continue studies toward a doctoral degree or to enter the engineering or applied sciences field. The Master of Science degree may be earned in one of the following specializations:

• General Engineering and Applied Sciences

• Computer Systems Engineering

• Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering

• Civil and Environmental Engineering

The general engineering program designation is appropriate when the program of study does not conform to one of the other designated areas of specialization listed above and involves coursework from several different areas of engineering and applied sciences. As part of their studies, students normally participate in research with supporting faculty and are encouraged to publish their research results in journals or present them in conferences.

Students complete either a formal thesis or a project as part of their requirements.

There is a program that focuses on Civil and Environmental Engineering. Research projects may include:

1. Wastewater treatment, recycling, and reuse.

2. Stormwater management and sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS).

3. Water scarcity and desalination.
