Civil Engineering at University of Windsor

As a civil engineer, you will play a critical role in designing, upgrading, and maintaining infrastructure. Civil engineering is one of the broadest areas of engineering practice, and includes multiple fields such as structural analysis and design, roadways and smart transportation innovations, bridges and superstructures, municipal and environmental works, geotechnical applications, hydraulics and waterways, and much more. Program Description The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers two separate degree programs: civil engineering and environmental engineering. Both programs are similar in many respects, but each offers its own unique strengths. If you pursue your degree in civil engineering, after first year, you will study the mechanics of materials, fluids and hydraulics, geotechnical analysis and applications, construction management, transportation, fundamental sustainability applications, and structural analysis and design for wood, concrete, and steel. These will serve as a broad base to establish a career in the many different areas related to civil engineering.
