What will I learn?

Civil engineers provide and maintain all of the infrastructure that we depend on daily. They plan, design, construct, operate, manage and maintain airports, bridges, buildings, dams, highways, railways, pipeline systems, tunnels, water distribution systems and treatment facilities. Carleton’s Civil Engineering program starts by giving students a thorough background in mathematics, chemistry, physics, thermodynamics, geology and numerical methods. In the final two years, students focus on engineering design in the areas of structural, geotechnical, transportation and municipal engineering. Elective courses allow students to further specialize in the area of their choice. The program culminates in a practical fourth-year design project where the students apply their knowledge to a real-world design problem.

The BEng degree program in Civil Engineering is fully accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board. When you graduate from this program, you will meet the educational requirements for registration as a professional engineer.

At Carleton, you will develop a broad background in engineering in your first two years of study. The final years will allow you to focus on one or more of the traditional areas of structural, geotechnical and transportation engineering complemented by courses municipal engineering, engineering economics and project management. The 4th year capstone project provides an opportunity to apply the skills, knowledge, and expertise you’ve developed to the design of a civil engineering infrastructure project.

Future opportunities

As a civil engineer, you will be a highly skilled professional with expertise in analysis, design, computer applications and management. You could work for any level of government or in a variety of consulting engineering firms. Graduates of the Civil Engineering program at Carleton University work around the world today, on challenging and technically advanced civil engineering projects.
