Course Summary

Civil engineering deals with the built environment and encompasses much of what defines modern civilization. Buildings and bridges are often the most conspicuous of its creations but this discipline is also responsible for roads, railroads, subway systems, airports, water supply systems and waste disposal. In fact, civil engineering as a profession provides much of the infrastructure and essential services on which we depend for survival.

This is not a CAO entry course - course fees required - apply directly to the college.
