Is this degree for you?
Imagine designing earthquake-proof buildings, smart water systems, and futuristic cities. In TMU’s Civil Engineering degree program, you’ll learn how to design, construct, operate, and manage the lifecycle of critical infrastructure that communities depend on.
In the first year, you’ll study engineering fundamentals, like calculus and physics, and as you progress, you’ll have the option to specialize in structural, environmental or transportation engineering. In the fourth year, you’ll address a real-world challenge through a team capstone design project and present your solution to industry experts.
Throughout your journey, you’ll gain experience in labs with the latest software and tools, using data and AI to solve critical infrastructure challenges. You’ll also have opportunities to gain hands-on experience through optional paid co-op and experiential initiatives.
