Graduate Studies - Department of Civil Engineering

General

Candidates for the degee Master of Engineering will be admitted under the General Regulations of the Graduate Studies and Research Division. However, a candiate will normally be required to complete six term courses at the graduate level and, depending upon the mathematical background of the candidate, a course in mathematics may be required. Six copies of the candidates thesis are required by the department.
