Civil Engineering Structural and Geotechnical Engineering - Marquette University

Civil Engineering Structural and Geotechnical Engineering from Marquette University is a Campus Bachelor Structural Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. The diverse needs of people and society for many types of constructed facilities give a broad range to civil engineering . The breadth is well-suited to allow specialization in one of the major divisions of this branch of engineering. However, it is not necessary to make a commitment to only one area of concentration as an undergraduate. Marquette's curriculum is arranged so students prepare themselves generally in civil engineering by completing core courses, which provide necessary fundamentals, and selecting electives to acquire additional knowledge in one or more areas of specialization. All electives offered by the department are open to students with the required prerequisites. Selection of appropriate courses requires careful planning between the student and faculty adviser. Students may specialize in the following: Structural and geotechnical engineering The structural/geotechnical engineering specialization deals with the planning, analysis, design and construction of various types of structures such as buildings, bridges and foundations. Students will learn to analyze and design structures made of concrete, steel and other materials. They will also learn to analyze and design the foundations that support these structures. Another possible focus area within structural engineering is forensic engineering, i.e., the investigative analysis of structural failures in an attempt to identify the cause of failure and prevent future failures.
