Sample curriculum: Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and M.S.E in DoGEE (Water Resources Engineering concentration)

Graduate students enrolled in the ME Ph.D. program can apply to receive M.S.E in DoGEE after fulfilling the DoGEE requirements for Masters of Science in Engineering. The student must successfully complete a coordinated sequence of 10 courses (or 30 credits) with special emphasis in water resources engineering. The water resources engineering program M.S.E. program combines a solid grounding in environmental fluid mechanics and hydrology with electives in modeling, water development planning, policy, and contaminant fate and transport.

A possible sequence of 10 courses could include the following:
(* indicates a required element for the Water Resources Engineering concentration.)

270.375*         Groundwater (Garven)

570.353*         Hydrology (Parlange)

570.658           Sediment Transport and River Mechanics (Wilcock)

570.445           Physical and Chemical Processes in Environmental Eng'g: I (Ball)

570.465*         Water Resources Development: History and Principles (Wolman)

570.644           Dynamic Environmental Systems Simulation & Decision Analysis (Hobbs)

570.686*         Multi-scale Flow and Transport in Porous Media (Hilpert)

530.621           Fluid Dynamics I (Knio/Meneveau)

530.622           Fluid Dynamics II (Katz)

530.766           Introduction to Numerical methods (Knio)

With these (or equivalent set) courses the student can petition the DoGEE Department for award of a M.S.E. degree in the water resources engineering concentration.

Completion of Ph.D. thesis in ME requires additional courses according to ME rules.
