Civil Engineering

About this programme

Civil Engineering covers the areas of structural, materials, transportation, geotechnical, water, and project engineering. These are strongly interrelated sub-disciplines. Students in civil engineering are exposed to all areas of civil engineering throughout the program. During the program's second and third years, students take courses to learn the fundamental concepts needed for civil engineering work. Final year courses provide a broad-based civil engineering technical background while allowing a limited degree of specialization through technical elective course offerings. Two design project courses give students experience in solving open-ended problems and working with industry partners. All undergraduate students admitted to the College of Engineering are required to complete a common first-year of undeclared studies (known as the first-year common core). Just after the start of the Winter Term in first year, students will select a major and will be placed in the appropriate brid
