I was extremely impressed and pleased with the online MEng Structural Engineering concentration at UAB. The courses were rigorous and the material applicable. I was able to apply the knowledge I gained directly to my daily tasks, especially the Bridge Engineering Course. I am more prepared to take on a greater leadership role with my company because of the program at UAB.
