  • Materials Science: Behavior of concrete, steel, timber, and composite materials.




  • Design Standards: Reinforced concrete design, structural steel design, and masonry.




  • Seismic Engineering: Earthquake-resistant design and vibration control.




  • Bridge Engineering: Design of suspension, arch, and cable-stayed bridges.





2. Geotechnical Engineering



Deals with the behavior of earth materials and how they interact with structures.





  • Soil Mechanics: Soil composition, permeability, and shear strength.




  • Foundation Engineering: Shallow and deep foundations (piles, piers, and caissons).




  • Retaining Structures: Design of retaining walls and bulkheads.




  • Slope Stability: Landslide prevention and embankment design.




  • Tunneling and Underground Structures.





3. Transportation Engineering



The planning, design, and operation of systems that move people and goods.





  • Highway Engineering: Pavement design, geometric design of roads, and drainage.




  • Traffic Engineering: Traffic flow theory, signal timing, and safety analysis.




  • Urban Transit Systems: Light rail, bus rapid transit (BRT), and subway planning.
