A growing population, aging infrastructure, a changing climate, and pollution challenges to our city’s sustainability and quality of life. Since more than half of the world’s population living in cities today, this highlights the need to look holistically at the nation's infrastructure throughout its life, from the planning stages through design, construction, operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation.
This program is a 2-year interdisciplinary program that aims to prepare new generations of civil engineers to gain broad range of domain knowledge including urban and infrastructure planning, geotechnical and structural systems, construction management, transportation systems analysis, environmental and sustainability-related policies.
The master programme of Civil Engineering (MCE) was established in 2008. The program has been revised in 2010, 2012, and 2018. MCE program has developed expected learning outcomes to comply with the vision and mission of Mahidol university as well as the stakeholders’ requirements [Appendix - Employer survey, & Alumni survey]. The philosophy of the Master of Engineering Program in Civil Engineering (MCE) International Program is to produce graduate students knowledgeable in civil engineering with high quality research output at the international level, having good research ethics and morality, and able to contribute new knowledge in civil engineering to the society.
