The Master of Science in Structural Engineering program at Cosmos College of Management and Technology focuses in providing students adequate knowledge and skills that allow them to have a meaningful career in structural analysis, design and construction, including earthquake resistant, economic design in industrial and academic fields. The course offers several optional modules in the field of Structural Engineering. The specific objectives of the program are to provide high skilled human resources capable to perform following tasks: acquiring depth knowledge and understanding of the structural behavior, the students will be able to analyze and design different types of structural infrastructures, acquiring adequate skills, students will be able to perform independently planning and implementation tasks at professional level in structural engineering including the use of appropriate software, able to conduct independent research in topics related to structural engineering. The M. Sc. in Structural Engineering is a two-year program spread over four semesters. Each student needs to successfully complete 48 credit hours of course work and 12 credit hours of thesis. The program will use a range of pedagogical inputs that includes on-campus learning through classroom discussions, presentations, group work, case analysis and guest lecture series, and off-campus learning through project work, on-line instructions. In the program, each course has a certain number of credits assigned to it depending on its lecture, tutorial and practical work hours in a week. One lecture hour per week per semester is assigned one credit. Some of the prominent features of the semester system are the process of continuous evaluation of a student’s performance and the flexibility to allow him/her to progress at a pace suited to his/her individual ability, subject to the regulation of credit requirements. The major features of this program are competitive learning environment, program faculties and research-oriented concentrations.
