Civil Engineering
Building the Infrastructure to Sustain Modern Society
Civil engineering deals with much of the infrastructure that is part of an urban society, including water treatment and distribution, wastewater collection and treatment, roads and sidewalks, and the buildings in which we live and work. It also deals with society’s larger infrastructure, including transportation networks, small- and large-scale water resource projects, and works associated with protection and/or enhancement of the environment.
The U of S Advantage
Like all programs in our college, the first year is a common year. After that, you can choose your preferred disciplines and the second, third and fourth years are spent learning a specialty in those areas.
Engineering programs at the U of S are highly rated by independent bodies such as the National Education Foundation. The Civil Engineering program is well-ranked in Canada and North America and is fully accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board.
Career Opportunities
With a degree in civil engineering, your career options can include the following:
- public and private sector
- municipal (urban or rural), provincial and federal governments
- engineering consulting
- construction
- project management
- resource development (for example, mining)
- a wide range of companies
Getting Involved
The Civil Engineering Students’ Society is continuously organizing field trips and social events. You can be involved with the Saskatoon Engineering Students’ Society and local chapters of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering and Canadian Geotechnical Society. You can compete annually against other undergraduate civil engineering students from across Canada in events such as the Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race.
