The graduate programs in structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, engineering mechanics and environmental engineering prepare students for careers in industry, professional practice, research and teaching. Experience has shown that job opportunities are excellent for students who receive advanced degrees in civil engineering at Case Western Reserve University.
Recent advanced degree recipients have found positions in universities,
geotechnical and structural consulting firms, petroleum companies, plant
design firms, and aerospace firms, among others.
Each student's program of course work and research is tailored to his or her interests, in close consultation with the faculty advisor. For students working toward the Master of Science degree there are two possible plans, A and B. In plan A, a research thesis is required. In plan B, a project and additional course work are substituted for the thesis. For students working toward the Doctor of Philosophy degree a research thesis is required.
Graduate Program in Engineering Mechanics
The graduate program in engineering mechanics is managed jointly by the Department of Civil Engineering and the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. It prepares the students for a career in research and analysis in solid mechanics. Courses in elasticity, plasticity, damage mechanics, viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, stability, dynamics, finite elements and boundary integral methods, constitutive methods, fracture mechanics, plates and shells, give the student the necessary knowledge and skill to study the behavior of modern materials and structures as well as advance the state of art.
