Bachelor/Master of Science Honors Program (BS/MS)

The BS/MS Honors program is an accelerated program for undergraduate students with exceptional academic research aptitude. The BS/MS student can earn both BS and MS degrees by just adding two (2) terms in his/her four-year BS Civil Engineering program. The student applicant can apply in the BS/MS program at the start of his/her freshman year or during his/her junior year. The student must maintain a CGPA of 3.2 without any failure throughout the duration of the program. The MS component of the student’s coursework is also equivalent to that of the MS Civil Engineering student by crediting some of his/her MS subject as undergraduate subjects and must conduct an MS thesis alone.

CIV819M	Special Topics in Wind Engineering	The educational objective of the course is to provide students with the broad education necessary to pursue research and solve problems related to the detrimental effects of windstorms (e.g., hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms) and to learn to take advantage of the beneficial effects of wind (e.g., wind energy). Special topics depend on the expertise of the Professor.	Major
