Program Description


The Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering with a concentration in Risk Engineering and System Analytics integrates interdisciplinary research efforts in risk-related science and engineering to improve the understanding of risks linked to natural and man-made phenomena, mitigate their effects and better prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters. Risk engineering and analytics is employed by insurance and reinsurance companies as part of their strategic planning and execution. Analytical processes around risk engineering are data-driven and computationally intensive. While significant advancements have been achieved in evidence based risk management and decision making in the research field, utilizing advanced analytics and incorporating real-time information to design portfolios that target specific economic goals in practice while satisfying constraints is still in its infancy. The Master of Engineering in Risk Engineering and System Analytics is designed for post-baccalaureate working professionals in this growing area.

Summary of Degree Requirements


The MEng in Risk Engineering and System Analytics includes a minimum of 30 hours of graduate credit, drawing from ten core courses in the fields of risk engineering, civil engineering and project management, data analytics, and management sciences.
