Undergraduate Civil Engineering at McMaster

Undergraduate Students enter Civil Engineering after successful completion of Engineering Level I.  In addition to the Civil Engineering (B. Eng.) programme, students may also enter the Civil Engineering and Management (B. Eng. Mgt.) programme, which combines the Civil Engineering programme with core courses from the Commerce programme, or the Civil Engineering and Society (B. Eng. Society) programme, which allows students to select Society foci, with the guidance of a Programme Advisor, which addresses issues such as urban planning and environmental concerns.

Enrolment in Civil Engineering is limited and therefore we are able to offer an excellent student to faculty ratio.

Full details on admission requirements, including applying from all Canadian provinces, the United States and other countries, are available from the Office of the Registrar here.

Structural Design, Water Resources and Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical, and Transportation are the central areas of Civil Engineering at McMaster. The Civil Engineering programme provides the training to make use of modern materials, computational methods, and other scientific developments. That use must be balanced with understanding and concern for the impact of current decisions on the quality of life for future generations. Senior students have the option of either specializing or maintaining a wide spectrum of courses. The recognized high level of research activity of the faculty ensures that course work is at the forefront of engineering while close contact with industry helps introduce students to practical considerations.
