I was extremely impressed and pleased with the online MEng Structural Engineering concentration at UAB. The courses were rigorous and the material applicable. I was able to apply the knowledge I gained directly to my daily tasks, especially the Bridge Engineering Course. I am more prepared to take on a greater leadership role with my company because of the program at UAB.
Individuals holding a bachelor’s degree in Civil and Mechanical Engineering from an ABET-accredited college or university, or a bachelor’s degree in a closely related science, who would benefit from an advanced degree in structural engineering such as:
Structural design engineers
Structural work inspectors
Civil Engineering project managers
Structural materials and design innovators
Project engineers with onsite structural inspection responsibilities
Students from Multiple Industries
The Master of Engineering with a concentration in Structural Engineering (SE) curriculum focuses on both the technical and business side of structural engineering. Although structural engineering is often thought of as being limited to building and bridges, engineers in many industries can benefit from technical education in structural engineering. The diverse knowledge gained during recorded lectures, virtual live classes, discussion board posts, and group project assignments makes the SE experience invaluable. Our students come from many industries, including:
Structural Engineering
Civil Engineering
Construction Engineering and Inspection
Aerospace
Engineering Management
Utilities/Public Works
Oil and Natural Gas
Military/Government
Material Suppliers
Manufactured Buildings
Education
Application Deadlines
Fall Admission: August 1
Spring Admission: December 21
Summer Admission: May 1
The Time is Now
The ever-growing complexity of the built environment and the profession of structural engineering requires an understanding of the essential elements of the structural mechanics, construction materials, design codes and standards, management, business, and law, as all are encountered in the profession.
Properly preparing yourself to meet these complex challenges prepares you for greater responsibility with commensurate benefits that could include higher pay, broader career advancement opportunities, increased confidence, and expanded leadership roles at work and in the community.
The UAB SE concentration is delivered fully online so that you can complete your MEng while maintaining your day job.
