Population growth, climate change, and aging infrastructure are some of the big challenges that today’s civil engineers tackle in the quest for smart cities and a sustainable future. As a civil engineer, students will lead the creation, maintenance, and management of the large-scale infrastructure. During the six paid co-op work terms, students can test drive different career options. Work for major construction and engineering companies, get experience with local or provincial governments, or spend a term abroad. This is a degree with lots of flexibility. Students will have access to a wide range of electives, allowing students to customize their education to suit their interests and career goals. By the end of the degree, students will be ready to design, analyze, construct, and manage everything from airports and skyscrapers to bridges, transportation networks, municipal water systems, and more.
