PhD Civil Engineering - Structural & Materials Engineering

The Ph.D. in Civil Engineering prioritizes leadership, innovation, communication, and entrepreneurship in infrastructure. Environmental & Water Resources Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Structural & Materials Engineering, and Transportation Engineering are four sibling concentrations in the Civil Engineering Ph.D. program. The exclusive Ph.D. program aims to equip students with the skills necessary to thrive in diverse career landscapes. Notably, it will be the inaugural program in Texas to integrate the practical application of Civil Engineering principles with entrepreneurial acumen and expertise in technology-enhanced infrastructure (TEI). This forward-thinking initiative underscores the pressing need for infrastructure innovation and advances the university's commitment to fostering cutting-edge research and development in the field.
