Civil Engineering is a driving engine of economic growth; it plays a huge role in the sustainable development of mineral and energy sources as well as protecting our natural and built environment. Civil Engineering students at Lassonde learn about structural and foundation design, transportation systems planning and design, water resources management, wastewater treatment, and environmental impact assessment. In addition, our graduates receive training in new emerging areas, such as innovative materials and construction technologies, infrastructure rehabilitation, computer-aided simulations, sustainability, natural hazards, and climate-change-driven engineering.
Our aim is to graduate civil engineers with exceptional technical skills, strong communication and entrepreneurial skills, a passion for social justice and environmental stewardship.
