The UC Berkeley Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) is widely acknowledged to be a national and international leader. In its latest national rankings, US News and World Report ranked both of CEE’s graduate programs as number one. CEE research establishes and advances the intellectual foundations of new fields of study.
MEng in Civil & Environmental Engineering
The MEng program in Civil & Environmental Engineering places emphasis on Large Cyber-Physical Systems, which stresses the use of computational innovations for sensor networks, cloud computing, behavioral science, mobile communications and distributed parameter control to create entrepreneurial solutions for industries such as transportation, water, or energy. Intelligent Transportation Systems are also central to the MEng program in CEE, and explore expanded surveillance, communication and computing technologies that are enabling unprecedented opportunities for developing and deploying innovation that benefits managers, service providers and system users. Examples include assessing impacts of future mobility systems involving automated vehicles, and smart utility systems for electric cooperatives. The MEng technical concentrations in this department are:
- Systems Engineering
- Transportation Engineering

Advanced Mobility Strategies
The 2017-18 Advanced Mobility Strategies team worked with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) to implement a technology which allows buses to communicate with traffic lights to reduce the number of red lights encountered.
