Program Mission

1 Prepare students to excel in civil engineering and related fields 2 Make clear to students that above all else, the civil engineering profession is committed to bettering the world 3 Provide modern, fundamental, practice-oriented education in the civil engineering field 4 Foster creativity and critical thinking in problem solving and motivate students to consider the societal consequences of their work 5 Enable students to be leaders in their profession, community, and the nation

Program Goals

• Students will demonstrate the ability to solve real-world problems through application of engineering fundamentals, mathematics, natural and social sciences, humanities, and technology • Students will demonstrate the ability to work professionally in team environments to design and construct both structural and environmental systems • Students will demonstrate the ability to effectively communicate, both verbally and in written form • Students will demonstrate an understanding of professional life and will recognize the need for professionals and citizens in an evolving global society to pursue a course of life-long learning

Many within the engineering profession acknowledge that today’s undergraduate engineering education has its shortcomings. For a variety of reasons, students obtaining bachelor’s degrees today are lacking in several key areas (technical and non-technical). Recently, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) assembled a team of industry and academic professionals who were charged with creating a long-term strategic plan that addresses these shortcomings. Their comprehensive report provided recommendations for improving civil engineering education, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, in the 21st century.

During the development of the MCE program, Norwich University utilized the findings of the ASCE report. As a result the program provides a comprehensive examination of the technical side of engineering. The MCE program also addresses the administrative issues faced by today’s engineers. Topics covered, therefore, range from how to perform a dynamic frame analysis to how to run a consulting business. We have combined the best of both worlds - a graduate degree in civil engineering, with business and project management fundamentals. In addition to the core coursework in business and project management, you may choose from one of four technical tracks: 1. Structural or 2. Environmental/Water Resources. or 3. Geotechnical or 4. Construction Management Concentration

As the first 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 efforts of faculty, support staff, administrators, students, and alumni, we have built an online environment that promotes networking, peer-support and one-on-one contact with Norwich faculty. 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 from experts in the field as your instructor dialogs with and mentors you.

Discussion — Online discussions are asynchronous. This format affords you extra time to contemplate questions and compose well-crafted responses creating a valuable exchange of ideas and thoughts.

Writing — The main method of communication in an online course is writing. In an online course, discussions, requests for assistance, assignments, projects and tests are mostly done in written form. 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 of the Internet, you can utilize online libraries and resources when the time is most convenient for you.

Access to extensive resources — The Kreitzberg Library serves all Norwich University students and faculty, whether online or on-campus. The library currently provides access to 100 online databases,

22,000 full-text electronic journals and tens of thousands of eBooks. In addition, the library provides books inprint and journal articles through the Document Delivery service for those resources that are unavailable online. This enables you to do professional and scholarly research without having to leave home. The reference staff 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 of the library’s resources.

Immediate response & feedback — Office hours are round-the-clock for an online course. With just a click, you can send questions and requests to professors, program directors, or fellow students and expect to receive feedback 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 of cohort members brings tremendous value to the learning experience.

Networking — You will have individualized attention from faculty and develop close relationships with fellow students as you interact with them creating a vast network of professional contacts. You will also have an opportunity to maintain those long-lasting personal and professional relationships.

a week in the life of a norwich university graDuate stuDent

On average students may spend approximately 20 hours a week preparing for lessons, completing assignments, and responding to comments or posts. It’s not easy to describe a “typical week” for a Norwich University graduate student, because no two students arrange their studies the same way. Below is an example of how one student could spend her week.

Monday

Log into the classroom and begin the week’s lessons. Download any assignments and make note of upcoming due dates. Peruse and possibly respond to the comments left behind by your classmates concerning the week’s topics. Take out your text books and begin the week’s reading.

Tuesday

Continue the week’s readings and/or lectures. Check the classroom for announcements, Instructor Office posts, or Angel mail that you haven’t read yet. Look at the upcoming writing assignment: if it’s new, start to construct an approach, make a writing plan, and start finding sources, otherwise move forward with your writing plan. Check discussions, make your initial post if you haven’t already, and post your comments and/or replies.

Wednesday

Finish the assigned readings. Spend an hour or so working on your assignment. Connect to Norwich’s Kreitzberg Library and search the online databases for information that may be useful for your long paper.

Thursday

Log into the classroom, see how discussions are going until it’s time to tuck in the kids. Get back to the computer to follow up with your classmates and log out. Continue working on your writing assignments until bedtime.

Friday

Wrestle with your writing assignment for a while and do a quick check on discussions before you turn in for the night.

Saturday

Get up at 7:00, drink some coffee, then get to work. You’ve been doing a lot of thinking about your next paper and want to banter around some ideas with yourteammates. Tie up any loose ends on the week’s homework assignments and upload them to your instructor.

Sunday

If you’ve 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 of hours today reviewing next week’s work.

Log into the classroom and review the upcoming week’s activities. Download any assignments and make note of upcoming due dates. Read the lecture. If you have time, review discussion topics, and begin to compose your initial posts. If an exam is coming up, remember to plan the time you need to complete it!

Jared reigstad, alumnus, college of graduate and continuing studies

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 it’s effective. Norwich has found a way to provide all

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

Does the online format provide the same quality of education offered by a traditional campus?Yes. Numerous studies have proven that distance learners perform as well or better than their on-campus counterparts.The No Significant Difference Phenomenon, by Thomas L. Russell, (2001 IDECC, fifth edition) cites 355 research reports, papers, and summaries dating back to 1928 that found no significant difference between distance learning and in-class learning. Where a difference was identified, it generally favored the distance-learning student.

Will my diploma say “Online” degree?No. You will receive the official, traditional diploma of Norwich University.

Is financial aid available?Depending on the program, grants and scholarships may be available. Most qualifying students can obtain loans through the Federal Student Loan (Stafford Loan) program. Applicants may seek specific information by contacting our Enrollment Office or by visiting our Financial Aid webpage.

Is Norwich University accredited?Norwich University is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc., through its Commission on Institutions of Higher Education. Inquiries regarding the accreditation status by the New England Association should be directed to the administrative staff of the institution. Individuals may also contact:

Commission on Institutions of Higher EducationNew England Association of Schools and Colleges209 Burlington Road, Bedford, MA 01730-1433Phone: +1-781-271-0022, E-Mail: cihe@neasc.org

In addition, Norwich’s undergraduate Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Civil Engineering programs are fully accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Until recently ABET did not allow accreditation of both undergraduate and graduate programs at a given institution; the institution

was required to choose which program to accredit and most institutions (Norwich included) choose to accredit their undergraduate programs. With the lifting of this ABET prohibition, Norwich is evaluating the benefits of seeking accreditation for the MCE program.

How long is the program?The program is comprised of three six-month semesters and a one-week Residency in June. All students should complete their coursework within 18 months of beginning the program (special arrangements may be made for deployments or family emergencies). You will attend Residency and graduate 21 months from your start date, depending on the start date you choose. Should you require any prerequisites; you will complete the program in 24-27 months. Your Enrollment Advisor will assist you with the enrollment calendar, highlighting the unique benefits of each start date.

How many credits and courses do I take each semester?You will enroll in two sequential six-credit seminars each semester for a total of 12 credits. Each seminar lasts approximately 11 weeks and typically is followed by a two week break.

Do you accept transfer credits or grant credits based on work experience and certifications?We will, on a case-by-case basis, assess transfer credit up to 12 credits. While the majority of Master of Civil Engineering students have years of work experience and certifications, these cannot be used as a substitute of coursework.

How much does the program cost?See the Tuition and Fees Supplement for the most current information or speak to your Enrollment Advisor.

When do I start the program?You may begin the MCE two times per year, in March or September. Undergraduate level prerequisite courses are also offered for applicants not meeting all admission requirements.

What happens if I need to leave the program and want to come back later? Special situations are accommodated on a case-by-case basis. The linear and progressive nature of the coursework is a vital component of the program so our administrative support staff will work with you to find a solution that accommodates your situation and maintains the integrity of your studies.

What does an average week look like for a student enrolled in an online graduate program at Norwich University? This program is designed for the working professional who must balance the demands of work and home with study. A majority of Norwich graduate students report spending approximately 20 hours a week, on average, on their studies. Your instructor and your Student Service Coordinator will help keep you on track. Students also find their cohort is a tremendous source of support in managing their time and studies.

Are there computer requirements?When considering entry into the MCE online programs offered at Norwich, it is essential to meet the basic computer requirements—including minimum Pentium III or Apple G3 (the use of anything other than MS windows is strongly discouraged), Internet access (DSL or cable are suggested), Windows 2000 XP, 7 or Vista, Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3 (or the ersion level supported by ANGEL), 64 MB RAM (128 MB recommended), 1 GB free disk space, word processor, spreadsheet, Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer (Version 1), Skype, Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 9), Autodesk Design Review, Flash Player 10, QuickTime Player, Latest version of Java, Windows Media Player, sound card, speakers, microphone, and scanner (capable of handling 8-1/2 x 11 sheets).

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.
