Program details
Overview
Water Resources Engineering is a Bachelor of Engineering major at the University of Guelph addressing the need for environmentally sustainable and economically viable water management solutions. The curriculum covers rural and urban watershed management, including flood prevention, warning and control, drainage, water channel design, irrigation, and erosion prevention and control, as well as the protection of groundwater, soil, wetlands, streams and lakes. The program combines elements of civil engineering, environmental engineering, agriculture, planning and geography, and admits students directly into the major from the start of their studies rather than through a common first-year engineering program. A five-year co-op option is available, incorporating five work terms designed to support the transition from academic study to professional practice. Graduates pursue roles such as hydrological engineer, watershed manager, water quality engineer, water treatment plant engineer, stormwater management engineer, irrigation engineer, river engineer and groundwater engineer, working across government, environmental consulting, manufacturing, energy, transportation and construction sectors.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Water Resources Engineering Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) follows the University of Guelph's general Ontario Secondary School admission process: an applicant's admission average is calculated from their top six completed 4U/M (or equivalent) courses, including any courses required for the program (or, where 4U/M courses are unavailable, a combination of top six completed or in-progress 4U/M and completed 3U/M courses). Cut-offs are determined by the quality and quantity of applications received and the space available in the program; published estimated cut-off ranges are a guide only and do not guarantee an offer of admission. The program is direct entry: students apply directly into Water Resources Engineering as their major from the start of their studies.
