COURSE CURRICULUM

The University of New Brunswick offers a comprehensive graduate program in Civil Engineering with a wide range of specialized courses spanning structural, geotechnical, environmental, transportation, materials, and construction engineering. Students can delve into advanced topics such as Structural Wood Design, Finite Element Analysis, Earthquake Engineering, and Operational Modal Analysis, gaining in-depth knowledge of structural behavior and dynamics. The program also includes specialized geotechnical courses like Mechanics of Unsaturated Soils, Foundation Engineering, Soil Dynamics, and Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering. Environmental engineering offerings cover water and wastewater treatment, environmental geotechnics, river hydraulics, solid waste management, and contaminant hydrology. Transportation engineering courses explore areas such as transportation planning, modeling, traffic engineering, road safety, intelligent systems, and infrastructure asset management. Construction-focused courses emphasize productivity, scheduling, IT integration, and work improvement strategies. Materials engineering is addressed through courses in concrete behavior, steel and prestressed concrete, material deterioration, and advanced analytical techniques. Additionally, students participate in graduate seminars and have the option to complete special studies, teaching apprenticeships, or thesis/report work. This diverse and robust course structure is designed to equip graduate students with both theoretical foundations and applied skills needed to solve modern civil engineering challenges and to succeed in research, professional practice, or academia.
