Princeton University

The program focuses on the applied aspects of structural engineering and is intended to prepare students for professional practice. To better achieve this emphasis on design, two of the leading civil engineering design companies in the world are actively involved in the program. Specifically, Leslie E. Robertson Associates, a New York based structural engineering company specializing in design of tall buildings and stadiums is teaching CEE511: Design of Large Scale Structures: Buildings; and Ted Zoli, a Vice President from HNTB, another New York based structural engineering company specializing in design of bridges is teaching CEE512: Design of Large Scale Structures: Bridges. In addition, students can work with senior engineers from either of the above two companies on a specific design/research project, as part of CEE507: Graduate Project I and/or CEE508: Graduate Project II (students can always select to have Princeton University faculty members advising their CEE507/CEE508 courses).

Students must choose at least eight courses from the following list, after consultation with their academic advisor. At least four courses must be selected from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. It should be pointed out that the following list of courses is not exhaustive. Additional courses can be added after consultation with the academic advisor. For students without any previous design experience, it is strongly recommended to enroll in CEE511, CEE512, CEE507 and/or CEE508.
