A Certificate Program in
Civil Infrastructure and Security Engineering



Program Requirements

The certificate program consists of 15 credits (five courses), selected from certificate program courses and elective courses. The certificate courses are aimed at building the foundations of asset management methods based on a holistic/systems approach. The certificate program courses consist of:

  • One core course, CEIE 680, Introduction to Infrastructure and Security Engineering (3 credits)
  • A minimum of two of the following specific sector courses:
  • CEIE 681 Security of Structural Systems (3 credits)
  • CEIE 683 Water and Wastewater Systems Security (3 credits)
  • CEIE 686 Transportation System Security and Safety (3 credits)

The planned schedule for offering the above courses is as follows:

  • CEIE 680
  • CEIE 681
  • CEIE 683
  • CEIE 686

The remaining elective credits must be selected from the following course listing:

  • CEIE 510 Geographical Information Systems in Engineering
  • CE 511 Introduction to Design and Inventive Engineering
  • IT 894 Design and Inventive Engineering
  • CEIE 670 Civil Engineering Decision Methods and Tools
  • CEIE 671 Best Engineering Management Practices
  • CEIE 685 Civil Engineering Information Management
  • CEIE 690 Special Topics (depends on the topic; requires coordinator approval)
  • PUBP 710 Pricing, Management, and Privatization of Public Assets
  • PUAD 640 Public Policy Process
  • PUAD 661 Public Budgeting Systems

Selection of courses is subject to the approval of the certificate coordinator to ensure cohesiveness and compatibility. Some courses may have prerequisites for which the student must qualify or seek a waiver from the appropriate instructor. A cumulative GPA of 3.000 is required, and no more than one course with a grade of C may be applied toward the certificate.

M.S. in Civil and Infrastructure Engineering

To earn the M.S. degree, with a specialization in infrastructure management, students would complete an additional 12 credits of course work, a 3-credit project, and a minimum of 10 graduate seminars approved by the CEIE department for the degree program.
