Civil Engineering

Students enrolled in the MEng program have the flexibility to choose from a wide variety of courses, but many also choose to specialize. Specializations do not appear on the student transcript, but the Department will issue a letter of completion upon request.

Specialization is not a requirement for the MEng Degree.

The Department of Civil Engineering has established the following areas of specialization for students who wish to focus their studies on one area.

• Building Science
• Concrete
• Construction Management
• Geomechanics
• Environmental Engineering
• Sustainable Urban Systems
• Structural Engineering
• Transportation Engineering and Planning
• Advanced Water Technologies & Process Design

The MEng program consists of 10 one-semester courses, 6 of which have to be from the Department of Civil Engineering. The remaining 4 can be from outside of the Department, and two of these can be from outside of the Faculty of Applied Science of Engineering or outside of the University of Toronto. MEng students also have the option of doing a 1 or 2 term project, which counts toward your 6 Civil courses. APS courses, offered by the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, are counted as part of your 4 courses outside the Department.

Minimum Requirements: A mid-B average (75% or international equivalent) in each of the final two full years of your bachelor degree plus English Language Requirements. Sucessful applicants typically have an undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering. We do consider applications on a case by case basis and if you do not have a Civil Engineering degree, the Admissions Committee will look at your proposed area of study (structures, environmental, transportation, ect.) and your academic history, and determine whether you have an adequate background for the program.
