Program details
Overview
This program leads to a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Civil Engineering, offered by the Lassonde School of Engineering at the Keele Campus on a full-time or part-time basis. Students study how transportation networks, water systems and other infrastructure are planned, built and maintained, with attention to new technologies, materials and sustainable solutions for communities. Learning is delivered through projects and collaborative spaces, including gamified virtual reality exercises such as piloting virtual drones and working through design challenges. The program offers flexible co-op opportunities for students to gain hands-on industry experience, with entry available in both fall and winter for first year and upper years, and no summer intake. The program suits students interested in the design and construction of infrastructure who want to combine engineering coursework with applied, project-based and co-op learning to build both technical skills and professional networks.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Common BEng prerequisites are senior-level chemistry, physics, mathematics and English. Across most Canadian provinces the admission target is a mid-80s academic average, with a final average of 78% needed to maintain an offer; Ontario applicants must additionally score at least 70% in each prerequisite course. International equivalencies include 30 IB diploma points, a GCE A-Level average of B, 14 overall on the Baccalauréat Français, 4.5/5.0 on the Hong Kong HKDSE, 75% on the Indian Grade XII, a 3.7/4.0 GPA on US high-school Grade 11-12 courses, and a B2 average on WASSCE/NECO. College transfer applicants need at least 3.3 on a 4-point scale and university transfer applicants at least 3.0; mature applicants (21 or older, out of high school two or more years) follow the same course prerequisites. Unless exempt, applicants must meet Lassonde's undergraduate English proficiency minimums: IELTS Academic 6.5 (no band below 6.0), TOEFL iBT 88 (no section below 20), PTE Academic 60 across all sections, Duolingo 120 (no section below 105), or CAEL 60.
