Civil Engineering Program

Improve quality of life in our communities

Civil engineers provide a major contribution to society. They design and construct the infrastructures we use every day, from the roadways we travel on to the power stations that provide our homes with electricity.

Your first year of study

All first-year students will complete the core engineering program and you will apply to the Civil Engineering discipline in your second year.

The Department of Civil Engineering offers four certificate programs within the Civil Engineering Program.

  • Certificate in Environmental Engineering
  • Certificate聽in Geotechnical Engineering
  • Certificate in Structural Engineering
  • Certificate in Water Resources Engineering

Co-op and non co-op options

You may choose to complete the five-year co-op program or the four-year non co-op program.

Co-op students take the same academic program as the non co-op program; however, our co-op option gives you an opportunity to complement your studies with three paid work terms.

Learn more about each option:

Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Civil Engineering - Co-op Program (5 years)

Gain invaluable real-world experience and pay for your studies at the same time.

Our Bachelor of Engineering Co-operative Education program integrates academic study with university-approved industrial experience. Graduation from this program requires satisfactory performance in both areas.

As a co-op student, you will complement your studies with three paid work terms. Work terms begin in your third year and typically last four months.

What can I do with a degree in Civil Engineering?

The Civil Engineering program at 黄色直播 prepares the graduates to design, plan, build and operate elements of infrastructure and our wide range of lab experience provides practical experience. Graduates are employed by engineering, consulting and construction companies, as well as government public works and transportation departments in the following fields:

  • Structural (bridges, buildings and dams)
  • Environmental and water resources (water and wastewater treatment, groundwater contamination, flood forecasting, shore protection)
  • Geotechnical (foundations, soil assessment, landfill design, offshore exploration)
  • Transportation (roadways, traffic control management, intelligent transportation systems)
