Well-equipped facilities developed by the department
faculty include a Computer Assisted Design Laboratory, an
Engineering Geophysics Laboratory and Test Site, an
Environmental Engineering Laboratory, A Soil and Rock
Mechanics Laboratory, the UNLV Transportation Research
Center, and a Water Resources Laboratory. These facilities
provide state-of-the-art research tools. Among these are a
MTS dynamic testing machine, a triaxial testing apparatus,
a 50-foot tilting flume, concrete curing facilities and test
frames, a portable wind tunnel, and a computer operated
model shake table. PCs, workstations, and current software
programs are available within these facilities, with additional
facilities being available in the college. Additional assets
include access to high speed multiprocessor computers
housed in the National Supercomputing Center for Energy
and the Environment. All facilities are located in the Thomas
Beam Engineering Complex. Additional research facilities
nearby include one of twelve national EPA laboratories
(located on campus) and the Department of Energy�s Nevada
Test Site, which has been designated an Environmental
Research Park.
Students with backgrounds in civil engineering and
construction management, as well as related disciplines are
invited to apply. Students with science backgrounds desiring
admission to the graduate program will be required to
complete course work, prerequisite or otherwise, that will
assure successful completion of the graduate program.
Specific course work requirements will depend on the area
of specialization desired by the applicant.
Applicants must identify a specialization from one of the
following areas: environmental, fluids/
hydraulics, geotechnical, structural, systems, or
transportation. Applications for admission to the program
are evaluated by faculty representing each of the respective
areas of specialization. Applications from international
students must reach the Graduate College by the dates
specified in the catalog in order to be considered for financial
aid. Offers of financial aid are made in writing by the
department, which assumes no responsibility to provide
financial support unless an offer is made in writing. Also,
when the department has made an offer to provide financial
support, it has no obligation to honor the offer unless the
student attends UNLV and enrolls in the Civil and
Environmental Engineering graduate program during the
initial semester for which financial aid was offered.
Applicants should notice that some documents must be
mailed to the Graduate College while others must be mailed
to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering,
as outlined below. It is imperative that the documentation
is sent to the appropriate location to aid fast processing of
the application
