Civil engineering is a dynamic and impactful profession that shapes our world now and into the future! Civil engineers work together in diverse teams applying their problem-solving skills in conjunction with the latest technologies to ensure the safety and long-term sustainability of the environment and the infrastructure that surrounds us.

Civil engineers work across a wide variety of fields on projects related to both the natural and built environment that directly impact our everyday lives. From coastal infrastructure to contaminated site remediation to ensuring clean drinking water to dams to skyscrapers, civil engineers play a key role in designing, managing, and rehabilitating these critical assets.

Civil engineering provides opportunities to work in a variety of locations from the design office to field sites around the globe. As these projects grow more complex due to the impacts of climate change, the demand for civil engineers who can leverage cutting edge technologies and work in multidisciplinary teams is also increasing.


 

 


No two civil engineers are the same. The training you receive as part of your undergraduate degree gives you the skills necessary to follow your interests and passions. Our graduates work:

  • across Canada and around the world for companies ranging from sole proprietors to multinational multidisciplinary engineering consultancies designing tunnels, bridges, and water treatment plants
  • for government agencies ensuring that the environment is protected from pollution and that transportation systems function smoothly
  • for NGOs providing emergency shelter and drinking water in areas hit hardest by climate change
  • in R & D, creating the next generation of technologies from using AI to assist civil engineers with site remediation projects to enhancing safety and reducing waste through robotic construction
  • in a range of other businesses and sectors, using their teamwork and problem-solving skills to improve the world around us
  • in education, inspiring the next generation of civil engineers to make their mark on the world!
