COURSE CURRICULUM

The Civil Engineering curriculum offers a comprehensive progression from foundational concepts to advanced specialization across undergraduate and graduate levels. At the 2000 level, courses such as CIVL 2190 Materials in Civil and Environmental Engineering and CIVL 2200 Civil Engineering Information Systems introduce essential knowledge of construction materials and digital tools used in engineering practice. The 3000-level courses build core technical expertise in areas like fluid mechanics, stress and structural analysis, concrete and steel design, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, and finite element analysis, providing students with a solid understanding of how infrastructure systems are designed and analyzed. At the 4000 level, students focus on advanced applications through courses such as hydrology, hydraulics, highway design, construction management, and building information modelling, along with a capstone design project that integrates knowledge into real-world problem solving. Specialized topics like life cycle thinking and advanced structural design further enhance sustainability and innovation skills. Graduate-level courses at the 8000 and 9000 levels offer in-depth study in structural mechanics, earthquake engineering, soil mechanics, hydrology, environmental systems, and advanced computational methods. Research opportunities, seminars, major papers, and theses allow students to develop expertise and contribute to the field, preparing them for professional practice, research careers, and leadership roles in civil engineering.
