Program details

Overview

Civil engineers design the infrastructure communities depend on, including buildings and their foundations, bridges, canals, dams, transportation facilities, and municipal sewer, water, wastewater and solid waste treatment systems. The BASc Civil Engineering program is a 132-unit degree offered by the Faculty of Engineering, leading to a Bachelor of Applied Science credential. Students develop expertise in computer applications, field and laboratory testing, and project management, supported by teaching laboratories, multimedia classrooms and computer facilities, preparing them for professional practice upon graduation. The program is offered in English and French, with French instruction available throughout the first year and most of the second year, and includes a co-operative education option for interested students. Graduates are equipped to work across infrastructure design, construction, and municipal engineering roles after completing the degree.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants need English 4U (ENG4U) or Français 4U (FRA4U), Advanced Functions 4U (MHF4U), Calculus and Vectors 4U (MCV4U), Chemistry 4U (SCH4U), and Physics 4U (SPH4U); Biomedical Mechanical Engineering additionally requires Biology 4U (SBI4U). The published minimum admission average is 80%, with a minimum combined average of 70% required across the science and mathematics prerequisite courses specifically. This line applies uniformly across Biomedical Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, and Electrical Engineering and their combined-degree variants with BSc Computing Technology, as well as the civil-engineering structural/geotechnical and environmental/water-resources options, since the Faculty of Engineering publishes one admission line per base discipline regardless of the option chosen within it. Meeting the minimum does not guarantee admission in a competitive cycle.
