Norwich’s online Master of Civil Engineering (MCE) program is made up of six courses, each delivered over 11 weeks in length for a total of 36 credit hours. Students master one course at a time, to create a strong foundation of knowledge and context for future topics.
The program is designed to help prepare graduates to :
Assess, formulate, and innovate to solve complex and multidisciplinary real-world engineering problems by applying knowledge of engineering fundamentals, mathematics, natural and social sciences, humanities, and technology.
Develop, build, and lead professional teams to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary work environments.
Implement and apply effective verbal and written communications with technical and non-technical audiences.
Anticipate and understand responsibilities of practicing engineers with respect to global, environmental, societal, and ethical contexts of their work.
Fundamental Courses
Each concentration offers a set of fundamental courses. Fundamental courses are designed for students who do not meet all the admission requirements. Students not meeting the admission requirements of the Master of Civil Engineering program with respect to their previous coursework will be required to pass fundamentals courses with a grade of B or better in order to be admitted to the degree program. Fundamentals courses do not satisfy degree requirements of the Master of Civil Engineering degree. Please speak with your admissions advisor to learn more.

A one-page curriculum map outlining the courses by concentration can be downloaded for your use.
Core Curriculum
Students begin the program by taking the following two courses and complete the program with a capstone project.
This course covers first- and second-order differential equations, basic matrix algebra with an emphasis on solving systems of equations and understanding eigenvalues and eigenvectors, numerical techniques for solving both differential and algebraic equations, and an introduction to partial differential equations. This course includes study of basic concepts in probability and statistics, random variables, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, and correlation along with the least squares line. In addition to manual problem solving, students will also use software tools.
This seminar focuses on the fundamentals of project management and practices. The key elements of project management from the project management framework, the project life cycle, project process and key project management knowledge areas are discussed. Additionally, the project integration, scope, time, cost, quality, resource and schedule management are studied. Other areas of focus are project management procurement and overall project communications.
Civil engineering projects have always had social, economic, and environmental impacts. The capstone design project requires the student to anticipate the social, political, economic, and environmental impacts of civil engineering projects prior to project implementation. As the engineer in a leadership position, you will direct a project from conception to completion. This includes the preparation of a comprehensive project business plan that will include project goals, political hurdles, anticipated revenues and expenses, marketing, facility design, and other issues related to the design of a major civil engineering project.
A Grade of B or better is required for the Capstone Design Project course.
