Civil and mechanical engineering share the areas of solid and fluid mechanics. Many undergraduate and graduate courses belong to these two vast educational areas. These course include: Engineering Mechanics-Statics, Engineering Mechanics-Dynamics, Strength of Materials, Fluid Mechanics, Basics of the Finite Element Methods, and Numerical Methods in...

... Currently, the theory of elasticity is a graduate course offered to both civil and mechanical graduate engineering students. 12 It is also suitable for aerospace engineering. 11 This course simply deals with stress and strain, but in very advanced and complex ways. ...
... Similar to elasticity, the theory of plasticity is a graduate course offered to both civil and mechanical graduate engineering students. 12 Plasticity is a major engineering area because it has many applications. 13 Most structural applications in civil engineering are performed using elastic analysis. ...
... It is also published in the conference's proceedings. 12 There are five categories in this regard. Some institutes offer these courses by the Civil Engineering Department while several other institutes offer them as mechanical engineering courses for the two groups of students. ...
This paper is a follow up to a previous paper on the overlap between civil and mechanical engineering fields. A very brief introduction on the overlap among various engineering fields is given followed by a short description of the common areas between the two specific branches of civil and mechanical engineering. The significance of this topic to the engineering education is outlined. The overlap between these two specific branches of engineering is larger and more conspicuous at the graduate level than the undergraduate programs. The focus of this paper is on the common graduate courses between the two fields. It gives some details on these common graduate courses. This is illustrated by practical examples from both engineering fields. Some recommendations based on the authors' experiences and opinions are provided at the conclusion of this paper.
