I am a junior studying civil engineering. I am to the point where I start picking classes that can go toward my specialty within civil engineering. I would like to work as a coastal engineer. I'm not sure if that's the correct title but I am interested in things like flood protection, beach renourishment, dredging, and coastal structures. My ideal job would be working for the army corps of engineers or another company that specializes in areas like this.
What area should I focus my upper level classes on? It seems like geotechnical and structural would be the best for this type of work. Should I split my upper level classes between one of these or focus on one? I plan to take a coastal engineering class and a flood hazard/protective design class. This leaves me with 4 maybe 5 other classes to take.
I am going to email my advisor and ask the same question but I wanted to get some other opinions
Thanks for any help.
