Civil Engineering

Top↑Program Description

The General Option in Civil Engineering is designed so that students will undertake a broad study of the discipline followed by more comprehensive study in one or more of the principal fields (structural, materials, construction, geotechnical, transportation, and municipal and environmental engineering).

In the first two years, students receive a strong foundation in the fundamentals of mathematics, computing, chemistry and physics and in the applied sciences of structural mechanics, fluid mechanics, hydraulics, hydrology, materials, surveying, computer graphics, and engineering economics. In the third year, students continue to develop analytic, computer, design and management skills and to apply them as they develop engineering expertise, with the help of team projects, in the planning, design, construction, operation and management of civil engineering systems. There is considerable flexibility in the fourth year, provided by the selection of specialized elective courses and the area and topic of the undergraduate thesis.

The Civil Engineering Program is designed to develop knowledgeable and creative engineers with strong capabilities for innovation and management. Graduates have a wide variety of employment opportunities in both the private and public sectors. Many such opportunities involve extensive interaction with clients and with the public; hence, the acquisition of communication and people management skills is emphasized.

Many graduates of Civil Engineering pursue postgraduate studies to further advance their skills in an area of engineering specialization. Qualified candidates are accepted for advanced studies in our graduate programs.
