Graduate Degrees offered: M.S., M.Eng. in Civil Engineering

Graduate students in Civil Engineering conduct experiments across a breathtaking range of scales, using electrokinetics, nanoparticles, sensor and communications technology, and advanced physics and mechanics while overseeing some of the world's largest and most advanced structural testing and simulation facilities.

Lehigh's structural testing facilities are the largest in North America and enable research in earthquake engineering, multi-hazard mitigation, fiber reinforced composites, fatigue and fracture, development of smart structures, shipbuilding, and infrastructure reliability, maintenance and life-cycle performance.
