Important Notes:
As a civil engineering student looking to get good grades, it is essential to develop new ideas and experiment on existing civil engineering theories – i.e., to add value and interest in your research topic.
The field of civil engineering is vast and interrelated to so many other academic disciplines like construction , law , engineering management , healthcare , mental health , artificial intelligence , tourism , physiotherapy , sociology , management , marketing and nursing . That is why it is imperative to create a project management dissertation topic that is articular, sound, and actually solves a practical problem that may be rampant in the field.
We can’t stress how important it is to develop a logical research topic; it is the basis of your entire research. There are several significant downfalls to getting your topic wrong; your supervisor may not be interested in working on it, the topic has no academic creditability, the research may not make logical sense, there is a possibility that the study is not viable.
This impacts your time and efforts in writing your dissertation as you may end up in the cycle of rejection at the very initial stage of the dissertation. That is why we recommend reviewing existing research to develop a topic, taking advice from your supervisor, and even asking for help in this particular stage of your dissertation.
While developing a research topic, keeping our advice in mind will allow you to pick one of the best civil engineering dissertation topics that fulfil your requirement of writing a research paper and add to the body of knowledge.
Therefore, it is recommended that when finalizing your dissertation topic, you read recently published literature to identify gaps in the research that you may help fill.
Remember- dissertation topics need to be unique, solve an identified problem, be logical, and be practically implemented. Please take a look at some of our sample civil engineering dissertation topics to get an idea for your dissertation.

- Lawn Ceremony e-tickets: click here
TICKETS (BME DIPLOMA CEREMONY)
- Each graduate will receive FIVE (5) PAPER TICKETS to the BME Diploma Ceremony at Old Cabell Hall. Not 6 tickets, as initially shared by the Dean's Office! This is due to an 851-person seating limit at Old Cabell Hall.
- Where to pick up tickets: We will email you when tickets are available for pick up from the BME Main Office, MR5 2010. It's usually a week or two before courses end. You can pick up tickets during normal operating hours up until 5:00pm on Friday, May 17th. Thereafter, tickets will move to Kitter's front porch, where you can continue to pick them up during daylight hours up until Sunday, May 19 at 9:00 a.m. Email [email protected] for the address. The location is convenient to Old Cabell Hall, the South Garage and South Commons.
- If tickets are not picked up, or otherwise arranged for, by Sunday, May 19 at 9:00 a.m., then we will assume they are safe to be released for another guest's use. If this is not the case, don't panic-- text Kitter at 434 245-0494.
TICKET LOTTERY
LINK: Lottery for a 6th Ticket to the BME Diploma Ceremony
- Do you have 6 guests? Secure an extra ticket from another student, or enter the Lottery for a 6th Ticket . As of 4/8/2024 we have 67 tickets to share.
- Do you have fewer than 5 guests? Share your unused ticket(s) with another graduating student, or surrender unused tickets for BME to distribute.
- Unticketed guests: Once all ticketed guests are seated, guests without tickets will be admitted. In the past, we have been able to seat all guests.
LOCATION AND WEATHER CONTINGENCIES
- Fair-Weather Location: Old Cabell Hall, Auditorium (11:30 a.m.)
- Inclement-Weather Location: Same | Severe-Weather Location: Same
- BME Department Contacts: Kitter Bishop (434) 245-0494, [email protected] | Karen Sleezer, [email protected]
RECEPTION | FOOD
- Light sandwiches and gluten free snacks will be provided by Mona Lisa Pasta in South Commons (adjacent to Gibson & Nau Halls) after the Diploma Ceremony, around 12:30 p.m.
- Following the Diploma Ceremony, escorts will be posted at the Old Cabell Hall elevators to help mobility-impaired guests travel the ADA route ( Map ) to South Commons (location of the reception). Most guests will travel a route with stairs.
- Here is official Parking Info from the Office of Major Events.
- BME guests might consider parking at the Student Wellness Center Garage ( Maps ), the UVA Health South Garage ( Maps ), or Scott Stadium. These are all convenient to the Clark Hall/Bryan Hall Entrance to the Lawn . Afterwards, they are convenient to South Commons. The downside is that there is no Shuttle Service from these parking areas. If you park here, you'll be walking .4 miles up to the Lawn.
PARKING FOR MOBILITY-IMPAIRED GUESTS
- We can secure parking passes directly at Old Cabell Hall in the "C-1 Lot" for disabled and/or mobility-impaired family members.
- To secure a C-1 Parking pass, email [email protected] or call 434 245-0494 well ahead of time . Kitter must talk/email with the organizing parent or the family member who is doing the driving and parking. (Why? because in the past, when I've released passes to your student, the pass tends to go unused).
