Master of Science in Civil Engineering at University of Manitoba

The goal of the undergraduate Civil Engineering program is to instill in our graduates the knowledge, skills, attitude, and ethical values necessary to be successful practitioners who are able to impart positive social impacts at the state, regional, national, and international levels. Civil engineers design and supervise construction of buildings, roads, harbors, airports, dams, tunnels, bridges, and water supply and sewage systems. Many engineers with experience are in supervisory or administrative positions. Students pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering can choose from the following areas of interest: Environmental/Water Resources; Mechanics; Structural Engineering; or Transportation and Materials.

The goal of the undergraduate Civil Engineering program with a concentration in Environmental Engineering is to instill in our graduates the knowledge, skills, attitude, and ethical values necessary to be successful practitioners who are able to impart positive social impacts at the state, regional, national, and international levels. Environmental engineers apply engineering principles and sustainable best management practices (BMPs) for the enhancement and protection of human health and the environment, and work in areas such as wastewater treatment, collection and distribution systems; landfills; assessment of the fate and transport of contaminants in the environment; and development of low impact strategies to treat runoff.

Our comprehensive program, offered through the School of Engineering, allows students to pursue a graduate degree in civil engineering while gaining expertise in the field. Students may choose a concentration in environmental/water resources, geotechnical, structural or transportation engineering. Whether students are working professionals or full-time students, the graduate program introduces them to the skills and knowledge they need for professional advancement. Students will have opportunities to conduct field and lab-based research, and learn from highly qualified faculty who are experts in their respective fields.
