Background Information

Overview of the Graduate Program Civil Engineering encompasses a broad range of professional activities. The four years of undergraduate preparation for the Bachelor of Science degree are devoted to fundamental analytical principles and basic design applications. For technical competence in specialized areas and continued effectiveness on the job, graduate study is becoming increasingly necessary. In 2007, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) adopted a Policy Statement (PS) 465 in which the master’s degree in Civil Engineering is established as the minimum requirement for the entry to the profession of Civil Engineering (ASCE, 2008). ASCE established a 15-year implementation plan for the policy. That is, once the states adopt the policy, then it becomes required for any Civil Engineering program to offer a master’s degree so that its graduates can qualify for the professional engineer (PE) license. Note that the PS 465 allows other pathways (through qualified experience) to reach licensure eligibility.

The Civil Engineering Department offers a graduate program of study leading to a Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering in the following areas of concentration:

• Environmental/Water Quality Engineering - water quality analysis and management, water, and wastewater treatment;

• Geotechnical Engineering - properties and behavior of soil and their application to design of foundation, retaining structures, earth dams and slopes, soil improvement and ground stabilization, geosynthetics inclusions, and soil dynamics, and earthquake engineering;

• Structural Engineering - earthquake resistant steel and concrete design applied to buildings and bridges, structural dynamics, structural mechanics, and finite element methods;

• Transportation Engineering - Transportation engineering and planning, traffic flow theory, and system management applicable to all modes with emphasis on highway and multimodal transportation; interdisciplinary study with other areas of Civil Engineering as well as with non-engineering areas (e.g., Environmental Studies, Geography, Public Policy & Administration, and Business Administration) may also be arranged; and

• Water Resources Engineering - advanced hydraulics and modern hydrologic techniques, flood forecasting, groundwater flow modeling, water resources management, and policy formulation.

Each area of concentration consists of a set of core courses, elective courses, and culminating requirements; all selected by the student and approved by an advisor. Practicing engineers who do not have a degree objective may choose to enroll in selected courses as part of a continuing education program. The courses required in each area are shown in Table 1.

Graduate students can also elect an emphasis in Engineering Management by taking elective courses in the College of Business Administration. Graduate students who are interested in this option can select up to 9 units of foundation courses and/or graduate business classes (refer to College of Business Administration catalog for listing of courses). Individual programs can be tailored with a faculty advisor.

Admission Requirements Admission as a classified graduate student in Civil Engineering requires:

3 of 57

• an undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering; and • a minimum 2.8 GPA both overall and in upper division engineering courses.

In addition, the merit of past academic endeavor, potential for future study, and professional goals may also be considered for granting admission.

Applicants who have deficiencies in admission requirements that can be removed by specified additional preparation may be admitted with conditionally classified graduate status. Any deficiencies will be noted on a written response to the student's admission application.

Students with a baccalaureate degree in engineering majors other than Civil Engineering (e.g., Electrical and Electronic, Industrial, Mechanical, or Surveying) or in other non-engineering scientific disciplines (e.g., Mathematics, Physics, or Geology) who wish to pursue the graduate program in Civil Engineering may be considered on an individual basis. Such students may be admitted as conditionally classified students and will be required to complete a specifically designed list of undergraduate prerequisite courses in engineering and/or mathematics, physics, and chemistry to correct undergraduate deficiencies. Such a student must have an approved study program on file with the Department while undertaking this qualifying work. Upon completion of these courses with a GPA of 2.8 or better, the student may apply for classified graduate status in Civil Engineering.

Admission Procedures Applications may be accepted as long as room for new students exists. However, students are strongly urged to apply by April 1 for the following fall or October 1 for the following spring, in order to allow time for registration deadlines. All prospective graduate students, including Sacramento State graduates, must file the following with the Office of Graduate Studies:

• An online application for admission; and • Two sets of official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended, other than

Sacramento State.

Approximately six weeks after receipt of all items listed above, a decision regarding admission will be mailed to the applicant. After being admitted, students must meet with an advisor and complete a Graduate Student Advising Form (obtainable in the Civil Engineering Department). This advising form must be kept current and on file in the Department Office.

Students The graduate student population that the Department serves is mostly comprised practicing professional engineers that are interested in acquiring skills in their chosen area of practice (environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation, or water resources engineering) to be able to tackle more complex engineering problems. The Department plays a crucial role in the Northern

7 of 57

California Region by providing a graduate program in Civil Engineering for practicing professional engineers. No other institution in the region fills this niche for practicing engineers in the region. The Civil Engineering Department is truly a destination campus for practicing Civil Engineers.

The Office of Institutional Research (OIR) compiles information about the graduate program in the Department’s Handbook. The data are available on the OIR’s website (www.oir.csus.edu). The Department will collect additional data as the need develops when it completes the self-study report. The historic data for entering students, number of students with undergraduate degree from Sacramento State, annual full-time equivalent student (FTES), and degrees granted are shown in Table 5. One FTES is equivalent to a student who takes 12 units of classes (typically four classes). In contrast, the undergraduate FTES is equivalent to 15 units of classes (typically five classes).

Program Educational Objectives The program educational objectives are set of outcomes that the Department expects of our graduates to achieve after completing the graduate program. That is, upon graduation, the students in the graduate program will be able to:

1. Succeed in professional employment at their chosen specialty of environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation, or water resources engineering.

2. Identify, analyze, and solve complex practical civil engineering problems in their chosen field of specialty.

3. Communicate effectively about technically complex engineering problems to peers, other professionals, decision makers, and the general public, in the conduct of their work.

These educational objectives are consistent with the mission of the program that targets practicing professional engineers in the community. These educational objectives are patterned after the educational objectives for the undergraduate program that were developed for ABET accreditation.

8 of 57

Focused Inquiry Plan The Department is interested in learning about the following question through its focused inquiry option of the self-study:

1. How well does the graduate curriculum serve our professional community? 2. What are the delivery methods that work effectively in achieving our graduate program

educational objectives? 3. What makes our program attractive to the graduate students? How does our program affect

our graduates?

For the first question, the Department will work with the advisory committees to gather data through two methods:

1. Surveys of employers and survey of our alumni of the graduate program. The Department will establish goals and will analyze the data to identify areas that needs improvement.

2. Focus group meetings of a sector of the industry (for example, organizations specialized in structural engineering) will be selected for an interview. The attendees will be asked to respond to a set of questionnaire. The responses of the meeting will be documented as part of our assessment of this inquiry. Every year, a different area of specialty will be interviewed.

For the second question, the Department will gather information from courses that are taught using different methods and through surveys that will be developed.

For the third question, the Department will be evaluated by data collected through a survey of graduate student s and alumni of the graduate program.

The focused inquiry will be part of the assessment activities that the Department is planning to start for the graduate program. This patterned after the undergraduate program assessment plan and also is designed to get the data for the focused inquiry. The five-year assessment plan is summarized in Table 6. The question for the focus group and the surveys are shown below.

Information

Grants and Contracts: Over the past 11 years, I have been the senior technical advisor for the Research Group in the Office of Water Programs, a

group of 8 full-time engineers and scientists plus support staff and students. The primary function of this group is to provide technical advice to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) regarding its stormwater research and implementation activities. In this capacity I plan experiments and analyze/interpret results from projects that are mostly executed by consulting engineering firms in the field. I also provide technical input to Caltrans policies and internal plans. This group is funded through a long-term contract at a rate of about $2 million per year. About 40% of my time is funded by this activity
