Program Mission

1 Prepare students to excel in civil engineering and

related ields

2 Make clear to students that above all else, the civil

engineering proession is committed to bettering

the world

3 Provide modern, undamental, practice-oriented

education in the civil engineering ield

4 Foster creativity and critical thinking in problem

solving and motivate students to consider the

societal consequences o their work

5 Enable students to be leaders in their proession,

community, and the nation

Program Goals

Students will demonstrate the ability to solve

real-world problems through application o

engineering undamentals, mathematics, natural

and social sciences, humanities, and technology

Students will demonstrate the ability to workproessionally in team environments to design

and construct both structural and

environmental systems

Students will demonstrate the ability to

eectively communicate, both verbally and in

written orm

Students will demonstrate an understanding o

proessional lie and will recognize the need or

proessionals and citizens in an evolving global

society to pursue a course o lie-long learning

Many within the engineering proession acknowledge

that todays undergraduate engineering education has

its shortcomings. For a variety o reasons, students

obtaining bachelors degrees today are lacking in several

key areas (technical and non-technical). Recently, the

American Society o Civil Engineers (ASCE) assembled a

team o industry and academic proessionals who were

charged with creating a long-term strategic plan that

addresses these shortcomings. Their comprehensive

report provided recommendations or improving civilengineering education, at both the undergraduate and

graduate levels, in the 21st century.

During the development o the MCE program, Norwich

University utilized the indings o the ASCE report.

As a result the program provides a comprehensive

examination o the technical side o engineering.

The MCE program also addresses the administrative

issues aced by todays engineers. Topics covered,

thereore, range rom how to perorm a dynamic rame

analysis to how to run a consulting business. We havecombined the best o both worlds - a graduate degree in

civil engineering, with business and project management

undamentals. In addition to the core coursework in

business and project management, you may choose rom

one o our technical tracks:

1. Structural or

2. Environmental/Water Resources. or

3. Geotechnical or

4. Construction Management Concentration

As the irst private university in the US to provide instruction

in civil engineering, Norwich University can help prepare you

to apply your knowledge to your workplace.

Norwich University has built a leading-edge online learning

environment. By using the consistent and integrated eorts

o aculty, support sta, administrators, students, and alumni,

we have built an online environment that promotes

networking, peer-support and one-on-one contact with

Norwich aculty. The online learning environment makes

traditional classroom learning better and here is how:

Focus is on you, the student With online learning,

you are empowered to learn on your own and even to

teach one another. Through the discussion group mode,you have the opportunity to explain, share, comment

upon, and critique course materials. But you also get to

learn rom experts in the ield as your instructor dialogs

with and mentors you.

Discussion Online discussions are asynchronous.

This ormat aords you extra time to contemplate

questions and compose well-crated responses creating

a valuable exchange o ideas and thoughts.

Writing The main method o communication inan online course is writing. In an online course,

discussions, requests or assistance, assignments,

projects and tests are mostly done in written orm.

Writing is a skill that is indispensable, and here you

will hone that skill to its keenest edge.

Comprehensive course materials The opportunities

available to you through the World Wide Web are

endless. With the use o the Internet, you can utilize

online libraries and resources when the time is most

convenient or you.

Access to extensive resources The Kreitzberg

Library serves all Norwich University students and

aculty, whether online or on-campus. The library

currently provides access to 100 online databases,

22,000 ull-text electronic journals and tens o thousands

o eBooks. In addition, the library provides books in

print and journal articles through the Document Delivery

service or those resources that are unavailable online.

This enables you to do proessional and scholarly research

without having to leave home. The reerence sta provides

research assistance through e-mail, phone, and instant

messaging and a dedicated Distance Learning Librarian

is available to show you how to get the most out o the

librarys resources.

Immediate response & feedback Oice hours are

round-the-clock or an online course. With just a click,

you can send questions and requests to proessors,

program directors, or ellow students and expect to

receive eedback within 24 hours.

Flexibility Online learning knows no time zones

nor is location or distance an issue. Our program is

based on an innovative asynchronous learning and

delivery model so there is no need to attend real-time

instruction.

Small class sizes Class sizes are limited to 16 students

or less, and are called cohorts. Cohort members progress

through the program together and participate in online

discussions and other learning activities. The varying

background o cohort members brings tremendous value

to the learning experience.

Networking You will have individualized attention

rom aculty and develop close relationships with ellow

students as you interact with them creating a vastnetwork o proessional contacts. You will also have an

opportunity to maintain those long-lasting personal and

proessional relationships.

a week in the life of a norwich university

graDuate stuDent

On average students may spend approximately 20 hours

a week preparing or lessons, completing assignments,

and responding to comments or posts. Its not easy

to describe a typical week or a Norwich University

graduate student, because no two students arrange

their studies the same way. Below is an example o

how one student could spend her week.

Monday

Log into the classroom and begin the weeks lessons.

Download any assignments and make note o upcoming

due dates. Peruse and possibly respond to the comments

let behind by your classmates concerning the weeks

topics. Take out your text books and begin the

weeks reading.

Tuesday

Continue the weeks readings and/or lectures. Check the

classroom or announcements, Instructor Oice posts,

or Angel mail that you havent read yet. Look at the

upcoming writing assignment: i its new, start to constructan approach, make a writing plan, and start inding

sources, otherwise move orward with your writing plan.

Check discussions, make your initial post i you havent

already, and post your comments and/or replies.

Wednesday

Finish the assigned readings. Spend an hour or so

working on your assignment. Connect to Norwichs

Kreitzberg Library and search the online databases or

inormation that may be useul or your long paper.

Thursday

Log into the classroom, see how discussions are going

until its time to tuck in the kids. Get back to the computer

to ollow up with your classmates and log out. Continue

working on your writing assignments until bedtime.

Friday

Wrestle with your writing assignment or a while and

do a quick check on discussions beore you turn in or

the night.

Saturday

Get up at 7:00, drink some coee, then get to work.

Youve been doing a lot o thinking about your next

paper and want to banter around some ideas with your

teammates. Tie up any loose ends on the weeks homework

assignments and upload them to your instructor.

Sunday

I youve kept your nose to the grindstone all week

today could belong completely to you. But maybe the

upcoming work week is going to be busy, or you have

important personal obligations to honor. It might be

wise to spend a couple o hours today reviewing next

weeks work.

Log into the classroom and review the upcoming weeks

activities. Download any assignments and make note

o upcoming due dates. Read the lecture. I you have

time, review discussion topics, and begin to compose

your initial posts. I an exam is coming up, remember

to plan the time you need to complete it!

By choosing an online degree, I was able to work at my own pace and do things on my own time,

whether on nights or weekends. Norwich University has been involved in online programs for a

number of years, so I felt that it had a good understanding of how to provide quality education

through an online experience. I was skeptical at first, but as I got more involved in the program,

I really found it a great place to learn, and its effective. Norwich has found a way to provide all

the resources necessary for its students and has done so successfully.

The Norwich graduate program was definitely challenging. There was a wealth of new information

provided, a great deal of new learning went on and it tied directly into what I do, every day, as a

professional. Much of the course brought my undergraduate education to the next logical level. I truly

feel prepared to take on more challenging projects, because I now possess this enhanced education.
