There are 2 MS programs of note, one in bioengineering and the other in bioinformatics.
The research options are very specialized and the most commonly available ones are:
Environmental fluid
The focus of the Environmental Fluid Mechanics & Water
mechanics and water
Resources Program is on water, air, and land systems, with
resources
emphasis on the science and engineering applications of
environmental transport processes and sustainable resource
management.
Geosystems engineering merges geotechnics, geophysics,
geomechanics, and geology and focuses on the behavior of
natural materials in engineered systems. Research includes
Geosystems advanced techniques for site and material characterization;
Engineering constitutive and micromechanical modeling; natural and man-
made hazard mitigation; engineered soils; biotechnology;
geotechnical aspects of resource recovery; and foundation
design, slope stability, and excavation support.
• Complex Fluids
• Environmental studies
• Biochemistry
• Materials
• MEMS-Nano based studies
• Modeling and simulation
• Reaction engineering
• Thermodynamics
The research work options widely available are highly inter-disciplinary. They are:
ARCHITECTURE
• Structures
• Modern architecture
• Architecture design
• Urban design
• Contemporary construction
• Environmental technology
Architecture allows a lot of Co-op opportunities and for students to work on related
projects. M.Arch prepares grad students for architectural practice and licensing. An M.S
in architecture is also available for people without an undergraduate architecture degree
and is basically a theoretical degree. The research concentrations include architectural
theory; computer visualization, historical interpretation, human-environment studies,
interior design, urban design studies.
