Bachelor/Master of Science Honors Program (BS/MS)
The BS/MS Honors program is an accelerated program for undergraduate students with exceptional academic research aptitude. The BS/MS student can earn both BS and MS degrees by just adding two (2) terms in his/her four-year BS Civil Engineering program. The student applicant can apply in the BS/MS program at the start of his/her freshman year or during his/her junior year. The student must maintain a CGPA of 3.2 without any failure throughout the duration of the program. The MS component of the student’s coursework is also equivalent to that of the MS Civil Engineering student by crediting some of his/her MS subject as undergraduate subjects and must conduct an MS thesis alone.

The highlight of the course is the use of the state-of-the-art TIA software¿s VISTRO, VISSIM and DYNAMEQ. VISTRO is a software solution that optimizes signal timing, evaluates development impacts, seamlessly manages multiple scenarios, and produces report-ready figures and tables at the push of a button. VISTRO can compute intersection level of service, optimize traffic signal timing, forecast new development impacts, evaluate mitigation options, manage multiple scenarios, and create comprehensive reports. While VISSIM is a microscopic simulation tool for modelling multimodal traffic flows and provides ideal conditions for testing different traffic scenarios in a realistic and highly detailed manner before final implementation. DYNAMEQ is also micro simulation software that can use for wide areas with complex road network. | Major |

| CIV820M | Cost Engineering and Quantity Surveying | The course deals primarily with cost engineering and quantity surveying in construction projects. Discussion covers data to be collected, information to be produced, procedures and policies in system implementation and typical forms used. Relevant topics in financing and purchasing are also discussed. Computer applications will be considered as well as practical insights on the cost control systems of on-going construction projects. | Major |
