FACULTY OF ENGINEERING
Graduate programs in Engineering provide pathways for students to continue their education while working closely with faculty members on fundamental and translational research that crosses traditional boundaries. We are committed to providing educational opportunities to a diverse population as we train students for wide-ranging careers in engineering and to become leaders focused on developing technology to improve
the human condition. Please note: applicants wishing to pursue a thesis-based program are strongly encouraged to find a supervisor before applying to their program of interest.
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN CIVIL ENGINEERING (MSc)
The MSc in Civil Engineering satisfies the demand for highly-qualified personnel in the field of Civil Engineering. This demand is fueled by
the requirements to maintain an aging infrastructure and to preserve and develop natural resources with minimal environmental impact to natural systems. Sustainability and structural durability and the impact of climate change on civil engineering works have become increasingly important challenges in the field of civil engineering.
Both thesis and course-based options are offered. The thesis option fosters and develops the independent research abilities of students. This option is ideal for students seeking to continue on to doctoral studies as well as students interested in research and development careers within the industry. Whereas, the course-based option allows students broad exposure to advanced topics within the field. Optionally, students in the course-based program may apply for cooperative education/internship experience.
Areas of faculty research include, but are not limited to:
