The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering focuses on interactions between human activities and the natural environment. Its mission is to use science, engineering, and policy to improve quality of life. This includes intelligent use of natural resources such as the raw materials, energy, and ecosystems needed to sustain modern society. It also includes the design of functional and environmentally compatible facilities and infrastructure. Within this broad context, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is especially concerned with:
An education in civil and environmental engineering provides an excellent foundation for careers in fields as diverse as engineering design, education, law, medicine, and public health, as well as for graduate study in engineering and science. Our graduates teach and carry out research in universities, work for large firms, start their own businesses, and take positions in government and nonprofit organizations. As pressures on limited natural resources grow, there will be increasing demand for engineers who understand how to make best use of these resources in the products and services they design. The department's undergraduate program recognizes this need by providing background in science and engineering fundamentals while also emphasizing hands-on design projects and case studies that provide context and motivation. Students are taught how to combine theory, measurement, and modeling to develop a good understanding of the problem at hand and to point the way to desirable solutions.
The department offers two designated undergraduate degrees accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering provides a solid foundation for practice in both classical and newly developing areas of civil engineering, including structural analysis and design, engineering materials, geotechnical analysis and design, sustainable built environments, and transportation and logistics. The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering Science emphasizes the fundamental physical, chemical, and biological processes necessary for understanding the interactions between man and the environment. Issues considered include the provision of clean and reliable water supplies, flood forecasting and protection, development of renewable and nonrenewable energy sources, causes and implications of climate change, and the impact of human activities on natural cycles. Both programs provide awareness of the sociopolitical context in which civil and environmental engineering problems are solved. Premedical students may satisfy medical school entrance requirements while earning the accredited degree in environmental engineering science with proper planning of their program. A third degree is offered for students who want more flexibility. Typical examples are students who will pursue careers in medicine, law, or scientific research.
The undergraduate programs in civil engineering and environmental engineering science share a common sophomore year that emphasizes mathematics, mechanics, ecology, and design. The ecology sequence begins by considering how natural systems work and then turns to a consideration of interactions between these systems and human activities. This sequence provides a scientific context for a consideration of sustainable design in subsequent subjects. Sophomore students from all programs work together in teams on design projects that synthesize concepts taught in the core subjects. In the junior and senior years, students from the two programs concentrate on disciplinary subjects that provide depth in each specialty. During the final term of the senior year, all students come together again in an advanced design subject that integrates lessons learned throughout the undergraduate education. There is ample room in the program for electives and minors that can be used to tailor each student's program to individual needs.
The department offers advanced degrees within the broadly defined areas of environmental science and engineering (which includes environmental chemistry, environmental fluid mechanics and coastal engineering, environmental microbiology, and hydrology and hydroclimatology), geotechnical engineering and geomechanics, mechanics of materials and structures, and transportation. The depth and breadth of coursework and research required differ for each degree program.
The degrees offered are Master of Engineering (MEng), Master of Science in Transportation (MST), Master of Science (SM), Civil Engineer's degree, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), and Doctor of Science (ScD).
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers three undergraduate programs: Course 1-C, leading to the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Course 1-E, leading to the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering Science, and Course 1-A, leading to the Bachelor of Science as recommended by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Each of these programs is flexible enough to allow students to pursue special interests by taking subjects in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and in other departments. Undergraduates are encouraged to participate in the research activities of the department and in many cases obtain degree credit for such work.
In general, students find advantages in planning their programs for the third and fourth years so that they dovetail with possible graduate study, including the department's Master of Engineering degree. This is readily accomplished by those students who embark on the departmental program in their second year. Under certain circumstances, students are permitted to work toward receiving simultaneous undergraduate and graduate degrees.
The 1-C curriculum helps students develop abilities in problem formulation, problem solving, and decision making in civil engineering. Education towards this goal involves learning fundamentals, exercising creativity, and gaining hands-on experience. Specifically, the program includes subjects dealing with structures, materials, computation, and project evaluation. These are complemented by design subjects that teach students to handle open-ended problems through involvement in increasingly complex team-oriented projects. Unrestricted electives and advanced restricted electives are typically used to build depth in particular areas.
The 1-C program provides the education necessary for professional practice in civil engineering as well as a number of other fields. It also provides a solid foundation for graduate studies, which is designed to further develop the professional engineering skills of Course 1-C students. This program is ABET accredited.
The 1-E option is designed for students who wish to gain an in-depth understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological processes that control the natural environment and its interactions with human activities. Subjects in environmental transport and hydrology share a laboratory that emphasizes both hands-on skills and the use of measurements to test hypotheses. The environmental chemistry and biology subject is also accompanied by a laboratory. Concepts learned in these subjects are applied to questions of human health in an advanced upper-class subject. Unrestricted electives and advanced restricted electives are typically used to build depth in particular areas.
The 1-E program provides the education necessary for careers in environmental engineering and science, as well as in many other fields. It also gives a solid foundation for graduate study and research in both basic and applied environmental disciplines. The 1-E program is ABET accredited and is sufficiently flexible to prepare students for careers in medicine or environmental law.
The degree of Bachelor of Science as recommended by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (Course 1-A) is provided for those students who are drawn to the core features of our curriculum but want to design individualized programs to meet particular educational objectives. For example, a student interested in medicine may need more room in the curriculum in order to complete all the subjects required for medical school admission. Other students interested in research careers in fields such as environmental biology, chemistry, or oceanography may want more time for advanced subjects in those fields. Such students may benefit from a Civil and Environmental Engineering 1-A degree, since they do not need ABET accreditation but do need flexibility. Students should speak with a faculty advisor about the advantages and limitations of a 1-A degree before making a final decision.
There are seven required 1-A subjects that coincide with the sophomore core of the 1-C and 1-E programs. In addition, 1-A students must select a coherent set of seven electives that meet a well-defined educational goal (e.g. a premedical sequence). The planned electives are developed in consultation with and are approved by a member of the departmental faculty who serves as the student's academic advisor. Planned electives may be selected from subjects within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering or outside the department. In addition, students may write an undergraduate thesis in lieu of one or more of the planned electives. To satisfy the CI-M component of the Communication Requirement, students must take the department's two CI-M subjects (1.013 and 1.018J) or, if appropriate, take one Course 1 CI-M subject and petition the Subcommittee on the Communication Requirement to substitute one CI-M from another science or engineering field. The outside CI-M must fit into the coherent program of electives approved by the student's academic advisor. The remaining part of the 1-A program consists of unrestricted electives to bring the total to 180 units beyond the General Institute Requirements.
Sophomores and juniors majoring in civil and environmental engineering may apply to participate in the Undergraduate Summer Internship Program, coordinated by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The internship program helps MIT students find summer employment opportunities in civil and environmental engineering. The department works with many companies and agencies to ensure that attractive internship opportunities are available for qualified students. For more information and a partial listing of companies, see the Summer Internship Program description on the departmental website at http://cee.mit.edu/.
The Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program (UPOP) is sponsored by the School of Engineering and administered through the Office of the Dean of Engineering. UPOP is the sophomore component of the Bernard M. Gordon-MIT Engineering Leadership Program and is a prerequisite for continuing in the junior and senior follow-on. Further information on the program may be obtained from the department in which the student is registered or from Susann Luperfoy, executive director, Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program, Room 12-193, 617-253-0055, mobile 617-921-3931, fax 617-253-8457, luperfoy@mit.edu, or from http://upop.mit.edu/.
A list of undergraduate electives in civil and environmental engineering may be obtained from the department. Students registered in the department are encouraged to consider appropriate subjects offered by other departments as part of their elective programs.
Students wishing to work closely with a member of the faculty on research may obtain permission to register for thesis, or to enroll in 1.999 Undergraduate Studies in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Numerous possibilities for UROP projects exist in the department, and several UROP traineeships are awarded to undergraduates each spring.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering grants the following advanced degrees: Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Master of Science in Transportation, Master of Science, Master of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineer, Doctor of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy. The Institute's general requirements for these degrees are described under Graduate Education in Part 1. Detailed information on the departmental requirements for each degree may be obtained from the Academic Programs Office, Room 1-281.
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering's Master of Engineering (MEng) is a nine-month program that provides a practice-oriented education. Designed for people with a bachelor's degree in engineering (or related field) who want to enter or return to professional practice, the program prepares students for real-world engineering challenges. Our graduates routinely join leading engineering design firms, consulting companies, and government agencies. Some go on to pursue a PhD.
MEng students specialize in one of four tracks: environmental and water quality engineering, geotechnology, high-performance structures, or transportation.
All students, independent of specialty area, take 1.133 Concepts of Engineering Practice, during the fall term. In this subject, participants work in teams to develop and present solutions to realistic professional problems, including topics such as project management and evaluation, negotiation, business development, and ethics. In addition, each specialty area has three suggested core subjects, two planned electives, and one free elective.
The distinctive element of the program is a professional practice experience for each specialty area; this experience is composed of a required group project and an individual, practice-oriented thesis.
Because of their intensive coursework, MEng students do not have time to work as full-time research or teaching assistants. Some engage in part-time work, but we urge caution as this can drain time away from academic work. A limited number of partial-tuition fellowships are awarded on a merit basis.
Admission standards are the same as for the Master of Science degree. MIT undergraduates may apply to the program at the end of their third year. Strong communication skills are expected.
For more information, see the Master of Engineering program description on the department's website at http://cee.mit.edu/.
Programs of graduate study are available in the following areas: environmental chemistry, environmental fluid mechanics and coastal engineering, environmental microbiology, geotechnical engineering and geomechanics, hydrology, the mechanics of materials and structures, and transportation.
The program in environmental chemistry focuses on processes governing natural and man-made ecosystems. An understanding of the mechanisms that regulate the flow of energy and cycling of materials through natural and man-made ecosystems is essential to address and avoid environmental problems. Water is one of the key media through which elements are transported within and between ecosystems, and it is also an important vehicle for the transport of anthropogenic toxic chemicals.
Graduate study in environmental fluid mechanics and coastal engineering offers education and research opportunities in many physical processes of water flow essential to the understanding, protection and improvement of the environment. The program emphasizes theoretical and experimental inquiries in both the laboratory and the field, and the development of models and strategies for practice. Interaction of physical processes with chemical and biological processes is also stressed.
Environmental microbiology focuses on microbial properties and processes that define the structure and function of natural and man-made ecosystems. Since the flow of energy and matter through the environment is often governed by microbial activities, it is essential to understand, predict and leverage them to both address and avoid environmental problems. Water is a key medium through which energy and elements are transported within and between ecosystems, and it is also a conduit for the transport of anthropogenic materials and waste. Because microorganisms are the primary living constituents of aquatic ecosystems and mediate globally important processes, we focus on environmental microbiology. The foundation of our studies is grounded in microbial physiology, ecology, evolution and environmental science and engineering.
Geotechnical engineering and geomechanics addresses a wide range of problems posed by the spatial variability and complex material properties of soils and rocks. Geotechnical engineers have historically dealt with natural hazards from landslides to earthquakes, and the design and construction of major infrastructure projects ranging from earth dams to offshore structures. Geoenvironmental problems of subsurface waste containment, groundwater contamination and site remediation are now also a major focus of the profession, as are problems related to resource extraction, including engineered geothermal systems. The graduate program includes core courses in soil mechanics; engineering geology and groundwater hydrology; application subjects involving geotechnical and geoenvironmental problems; and specialized subjects in geomaterial (soil and rock) behavior, theoretical and experimental methods, and underground construction.
Graduate study in hydrology and hydroclimatology considers all aspects of the hydrologic cycle, with an emphasis on better understanding the physical, chemical and biological processes associated with the movement of water. Our goal is to give students the knowledge they need to address important environmental and resource challenges and to develop informed solutions that improve quality of life. Hydrologic education and research are inherently multidisciplinary and typically involve integration of theory, data analysis, and modeling. Students develop expertise in the basic sciences, applied mathematics and, depending on their research topic, in laboratory and field research, mathematical modeling, economics, and public policy.
The graduate program in the mechanics of materials and structures seeks to advance fundamental understanding and develop innovative approaches to structural engineering problems. This includes assessing and upgrading aging infrastructure, developing and using better construction materials, and designing for increased performance by improving safety, lowering costs, and reducing the impact on the environment. The program also emphasizes the mechanical behavior of construction materials and mechanics of materials at scales ranging from nano to macro, relating the continuum scale to the atomistic scale.
The current research program includes projects on interface fracture and interfacial characterization in cementious materials; development and behavior of high-performance concrete composites; development of fiber-reinforced high-strength silica fume concrete; micromechanics-based design of fiber-reinforced concrete composites; accelerated curing of concrete with microwave energy; use of reinforced plastic composites in repair and retrofitting concrete and steel structures; nondestructive evaluation of materials and structures; materials science and mechanics of natural and biological material (elasticity, deformation and fracture); and large-scale atomistic, molecular and multiscale modeling and supercomputing.
Graduate study in transportation examines all major forms of transportation, including passenger and freight systems, as well as the increasing demand for transportation systems at the local, regional and international levels and the critical issues involved in meeting transportation needs in a sustainable way without negative impact on future generations. The Transportation program in CEE emphasizes the complexity of transportation and its dependence on the interaction of technology, operations, planning, management, and policy making. Increasingly our focus is shifting toward study of the interactions of transportation infrastructure and operations, urban spatial structure and land use, economic growth, resource and energy use, and environmental impacts at various spatial and temporal scales.
Applicants do not need to have an undergraduate degree in civil engineering.
Numerous opportunities for graduate education in civil and environmental engineering exist for students with backgrounds in other branches of engineering, science, and certain social sciences. These arise through the growth of interdepartmental research and degree programs that bring people of diverse backgrounds together in search of solutions to major societal problems. Graduate students and faculty in the department have experience, for example, in economics, political science, sociology, architecture, urban and regional planning, management, biology, geology, chemistry, computer science, and oceanography.
Primary requirements for graduate study are a keen intellect combined with capability and interest in rigorous approaches to real problems. Students may make up deficiencies in prerequisites while pursuing a program of graduate study. Prerequisites for each subject are given in the subject descriptions.
All applicants are required to submit scores from the GRE Aptitude Test. With some exceptions, applicants whose first language is not English are required to submit scores from either the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) or the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). More information about individual graduate programs can be obtained at http://cee.mit.edu/, or by writing to cee-admissions@mit.edu.
The research of the department is an integral part of the graduate program, and approximately 120 graduate students each year receive appointments as research or teaching assistants. Most of these appointments fully cover tuition, individual health insurance, and reasonable living expenses in the Boston area.
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering also has a number of fellowships for first-year graduate students. Applicants are also encouraged to apply for traineeships and fellowships offered nationally by the National Science Foundation, NASA, DOE, and other governmental agencies that traditionally support students in the department. For an extensive list of such opportunities, visit the Office of the Dean for Graduate Education website, http://web.mit.edu/odge/.
Through its interdepartmental programs, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering brings together the science, technology, systems, and management skills necessary to deal with the important engineering problems of the future.
The educational and research programs in transportation center around the interdepartmental Master of Science in Transportation (MST) program. This program is based on the premise that a common set of analytical approaches and methodologies can be applied to solve a range of transportation problems. The MST provides a common basis for addressing a wide range of problems while allowing enough flexibility to accommodate students with diverse backgrounds and interests.
The only specific subjects required for admission are two subjects in calculus, one in economics, and one in probability. One or more of these subjects may be completed simultaneously with application to the program, and acceptance is then conditional on satisfactory completion of these prerequisites.
The MST typically takes one and one-half to two years to complete. Students in the MST program must complete a block of two required core subjects and at least three additional transportation or related subjects, in addition to the master's thesis. Generally, the three additional subjects relate to an area of specialization, although this is not required. Common areas of specialization include urban transportation, air transportation, planning methods, logistics, and policy.
For more information, see the MST program description on the department's website at http://cee.mit.edu/.
The 24-month Leaders for Global Operations (LGO) program combines graduate education in engineering and management for those with two or more years of full-time work experience who aspire to leadership positions in manufacturing or operations companies. A required 6.5-month internship provides opportunity to complete a research project on site at one of LGO’s partner companies. The internship leads to a dual-degree thesis, culminating in two master’s degrees—an SM in management or an MBA, and an SM from a participating engineering department. The program is offered jointly through the MIT Sloan School of Management and the School of Engineering. For more information, see the program description under Engineering Systems Division in Part 2 or visit http://lgo.mit.edu/.
The Joint Program with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is intended for students whose primary career objectives are in the field of oceanography or oceanographic engineering. The program is described under Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs in Part 3.
Detailed information about the academic policies and programs of the department may be obtained by writing to or visiting the Academic Programs Office, Room 1-281, 617-253-9723, fax 617-258-6775, cee-apo@mit.edu, http://cee.mit.edu/.
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering occupies two buildings on the MIT campus: Building 1 and Building 48 (the Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Environmental Science and Engineering). These buildings contain specialized research and teaching facilities. In addition, the department collaborates interdepartmentally with other laboratories described below.
Located on the east campus, the Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Environmental Science and Engineering is a recently renovated four-story structure containing about 31,000 square feet of classrooms, teaching and research laboratories, machine shops, computer facilities, and offices. Approximately 60 graduate students and 18 faculty members have offices on the premises. Facilities exist for hydrodynamic studies involving flow through vegetation, free surface flows, and flows in porous media. The latest in laser-Doppler instrumentation is available. Complete and modern laboratories facilitate research in inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, molecular biology, genomics, microbial ecology, and biochemistry. Especially notable instrumentation includes several GCs, a GC-MS, LC-MS, and several HPLCs, two flame AAs, a graphite furnace AA, alpha and gamma spectrometry counting systems, scintillation counters, several flow cytometers, a laser light scattering instrument, and incubators, a cold room, and several -80°C freezers. One laboratory, recently renovated, is a dedicated teaching facility for environmental engineering and aquatic chemistry and biology. Equipment is available for instruction in a wide range of field sampling methods, biological and microbiological evaluations, and instrumental chemical analyses of natural waters. A new, state-of-the-art inductively coupled plasma spectrometer was recently acquired. Computer facilities include a 100-processor Beowulf (parallel computing) cluster, among other computer clusters.
Located in one of MIT's original buildings, this civil and environmental engineering facility overlooks the Charles River and includes over 40,000 square feet of classrooms, teaching and research laboratories, and offices for approximately 90 graduate students and 20 faculty members and research staff.
Research activities focus on three major areas: geotechnical engineering and geomechanics, the mechanics of materials and structures, and transportation. Among the classrooms is the state-of-the-art Bechtel Lecture Hall. The facilities include a recently renovated undergraduate teaching/project laboratory and common room and a materials testing laboratory that provides facilities to process, fabricate, and form specimens, test under various stress and environmental conditions, and investigate physical properties. The materials testing laboratory contains several automated universal test frames, a biaxial loading system, an environmental chamber, and an environmentally controlled nano-indentation system. The geotechnical laboratories combine a broad range of equipment from conventional to state-of-the-art to specialty research devices. Capabilities and equipment include industrial radiography; centralized data acquisition; computer-automated consolidation, triaxial and high-pressure triaxial cells; simple shear devices; a hollow cylinder apparatus and a medium-sized centrifuge.
Building 1 offers diverse and advanced computational facilities, including a large Linux cluster, a large Athena cluster, and networked Sun, Digital, and Windows workstations. The computing facilities feature various software development packages, visualization workstations, and an extensive set of structural, project management, geotechnical and materials analysis programs such as SAP, STRUDL, PLAXIS, MATLAB, AUTOCAD, FORTRAN, Primavera, Crystal Ball, ADINA, and ABAQUS, as well as molecular dynamics applications for the analysis of nanomechanics of natural and biological structures.
The Center for Environmental Sensing and Modeling is a collaborative research program headed by Professor Andrew Whittle and involving many faculty members from CEE and other departments and universities. Researchers primarily from MIT and universities in Singapore are developing pervasive environmental sensor networks to collect data from many sources on parameters such as air and water quality. They plan to use this data to provide accurate, real-time monitoring, modeling and control of the environment from the microscale of a building to the macroscale of, for example, East Asia.
The Education Program of the Laboratory for Energy and the Environment (LFEE) is dedicated to enhancing environmental literacy and deepening multidisciplinary environmental knowledge, particularly among the leaders of tomorrow’s science and technology communities. The program cultivates the capacity of learners at all levels to both understand and respond effectively to the challenges of sustainability. More information about LFEE is available at http://lfee.mit.edu/.
Historically, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has had strong ties to the Center for Environmental Health Sciences in teaching and research activities related to understanding the role of chemical and biological agents in the environment as causes of human disease. More information about the center is available under Interdisciplinary Research and Study in Part 3.
The Earth System Initiative (ESI) fosters exploration of the intimately interrelated physical, chemical, biological, and geological processes that shape our global ecosystem. By involving faculty, staff, and students across the spectrum of environmentally oriented disciplines, ESI brings the widest variety of scientific perspectives and methods to bear in understanding how the Earth system functions and how we can be better stewards of our planet. For more information, see the ESI website at http://esi.mit.edu/.
The Center for Global Change Science (CGCS) seeks to better understand the natural mechanisms in ocean, atmosphere, and land systems that together control the Earth's climate, and to apply improved knowledge to problems of predicting climate changes. The center utilizes theory, observations, and numerical models to investigate climate phenomena, the linkages among them, and their potential feedbacks in a changing climate. The CGCS provides opportunities for close cooperation in education and research between faculty, research scientist staff, and students in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, MIT's Energy Initiative, and other MIT departments. The major research initiatives in the CGCS are the MIT Climate Modeling Initiative, the Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment, and the Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change. More information about the center is available under Interdisciplinary Research and Study in Part 3 or at the CGCS website, http://mit.edu/cgcs/.
