Have you ever tried getting somewhere without a road?
Crossing a river without a bridge?
Going indoors without a building?
It’s strange to think about, but today’s world wouldn’t exist without civil engineering.
From the highways we drive on to the dams that protect our cities, these engineers are responsible for building the world as we know it.
If you’ve ever dreamt of designing bridges to bring communities closer together or making people safer by designing earthquake-proof buildings…
Join us and become a civil engineer.
What You’ll Learn
Civil Engineering students at Lassonde learn about structural and foundation design, transportation systems planning and design, water resources management, wastewater treatment, and environmental impact assessment.
In addition, our graduates receive training in new emerging areas, such as innovative materials and construction technologies, infrastructure rehabilitation, computer-aided simulations, sustainability, natural hazards, and climate-change-driven engineering.
Students have the opportunity to choose from a wide range of technical electives in Civil Engineering:
- Structural
- Geotechnical
- Hydrotechnical
- Transportation
- Environmental
Professional experience through co-op option after second year can give you an early start towards becoming a licensed Professional Engineer.
