The Data and Systems Concentration, grounded in faculty interests and existing courses, will prepare students to use new and emerging technologies in data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, as well as systems analysis (e.g., operations research, economics, system identification) and sensors to address problems in domains spanning all (traditional) civil and environmental engineering (CEE) areas. This is an umbrella program that serves all CEE disciplines by providing a solid foundation in modern programming languages such as Python and R, developing students' data analytics skills, promoting a systems perspective, and, importantly, honing these in the context of data-driven CEE problem solving.Civil engineers are on the frontlines of a changing world. They’re designing the cities of the future, developing innovations for a cleaner environment, and fighting climate change. At Northeastern University, you can earn a master’s degree in civil engineering with a concentration in construction management environmental, water, and coastal systems geotechnical/geoenvironmental engineering structures transportation or data and systems. Degree requirements may be completed on a full- or part-time basis.
