Civil Engineering Forum

The Civil Engineering Forum is a space for students to learn from and engage with engineers in their field of study. Leaders from industry and research communities share their academic and career experiences with our students. The Forum was established in 1998 by Robert K Jones, Sci’52, and A Joyce Jones, Arts’53.

The Civil Engineering Forum is held weekly on Thursdays from 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm in Ellis 251.

If you are interested in participating as a guest speaker or have suggestions for the Forum, please contact the coordinators: civil.forum@queensu.ca
