Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering is focused on

designing the massive infrastructure

that meets our society’s needs:

• highways, bridges, buildings, pipe

networks, railways, water

treatment plants, airports, flood

protection, dams, pipelines,

stadiums…

• anything designed to withstand the

forces of nature (wind, snow, water,

seismic forces, gravity, vibration) will

probably require the expertise of a

Civil Engineer

Civil Engineering

• in Civil Engineering, you can choose to

specialize in areas such as:

• transportation

• structures and materials

• construction and project management

• water resources

– hydraulics,

– eco-hydraulics,

– hydrology,

– storm water management, etc.

• geotechnical design

• environmental engineering (water quality,

waste water, groundwater remediation, etc.)

Civil Engineering encompasses a broad combination of many sub-disciplines within engineering

Environmental Engineering: A Program in Demand!

“In the 21st century, one of the largest needs will be environmental engineering." (Globe and Mail)

20 Fastest-growing Professional Jobs: >20% increase between 2002 and 2012: (Fortune 75, 2005)

“an increasingly health-conscious

public is eager to find environmental

engineers that can prevent

problems rather than simply control

those that already exist.”

Environmental Engineering

Engineers focused on the management and

protection of our natural environment

• cleaning up existing pollution in our soil,

water and air

• developing methods and technology to

mitigate the waste produced by modern

society and protect our natural

environment

Environmental Engineering responsible for the design of wetlands, landfills,

nuclear waste depositories, restored streams

responsible for the design of drinking and wastewater treatment plants, water

storage facilities, etc

responsible for the design of water distribution

systems, etc

responsible for the design of storm water networks, storm water retention

ponds, bioretention facilities, etc.

responsible for the design of storm water retention ponds, green roofs, etc.

The 1B Curriculum

The 1A/1B curriculum is identical for our Civil, Environmental and Geological

Engineering students.

Students may be allowed to switch between programs at the end of their 1B

term.

• must obtain a 65% 1A average/ 70% 1B midterm average

• maintain a good standing in their 1B term

• transfers are evaluated on a case by case basis

• space may limit the number of transfers

This Theme is for students interested in a professional career in areas concerned

with the mechanical behaviour of soils and rocks, and construction on, in, or with

these materials.

Geological Engineering with Hydrogeology Theme

This Theme is for students interested in a professional career related to water

supply and quality, fluid flow through soil and rocks, and environmental protection

and monitoring related to these areas.

In Summary

Whatever your chosen field of study, your education

• begins with a year of basic math and science

• beginning in second year, varies with each program (civil, enviro and geo)

• involves mechanics, analysis and design at the appropriate time in your

engineering education

• is flexible enough to allow you to specialize in a particular area of

interest (technical electives)

• encourages you to become well rounded engineers (complementary

studies electives)

• requires a minimum of 8 terms (and 6 work terms)…~5 years of study

and finally, please realize that 1A is about

• establishing a knowledge base of math and science

• developing a work ethic (efficient time management skills, etc.), and

• is NOT engineering (not yet)!!
