DEPARTMENTS

The UAB School of Engineering is comprised of five departments, listed below with the degrees awarded from each:

• Department of Biomedical Engineering (BS, MS, PhD)
  This is the only accredited BME program in the State of Alabama.
• Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering (BS, MS, PhD)
  The Civil Engineering Program has a Study Abroad Program.
• Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (BS, MS, PhD Computer Engineering)
  Vigorous program expansion has department in unique position to play critical role in developing solutions for health-care problems benefiting society.
• Department of Materials Science and Engineering (BS, MS, PhD)
  Has been continuously accredited since 1971 by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
• Department of Mechanical Engineering (BS, MS)
  During the next decade and beyond, mechanical engineers will solve problems from productivity to the environment to human rehabilitation.

MASTERS

Although not separate departments, a Master of Engineering (MEng) degree is offered with tracks in the following areas:

• Advanced Safety Engineering and Management (ASEM)
  First master’s degree in engineering with safety emphasis to be offered totally online.
• Construction Engineering Management (CEM)
  Designed with the working professional in mind, graduates gain tools necessary to succeed in the complex and competitive built environment.
• Information Engineering and Management (IEM)
  If you're after a piece of fancy paper, try an office supply store. We are way more than just a degree - we are a path to success.
