Geoengineering

The Geoengineering master of science (MS) degree balances education in engineering fundamentals and design with research and development. It is designed for students wishing to pursue a career in industry or to continue toward a PhD. Emphases are in fundamental aspects of geomechanics and its applications. Research focuses on the use and development of discrete and continuum theories such as elasticity, plasticity, fracture mechanics, and poroelasticity for solving engineering problems.
