What it is	Civil engineering teaches you how to design, build, and maintain infrastructure like bridges, roads, dams, and water systems. You'll study structural mechanics, materials, surveying, and environmental impact alongside math and physics. This program includes a mandatory co-op placement, so you'll work on real projects while you study, which suits people who learn best by doing and want practical experience before graduation.	You study how to design systems and structures that protect the environment and manage natural resources — combining biology, chemistry, civil engineering, and earth science. Unlike a general engineering program, this one focuses specifically on water treatment, waste management, air quality, and land remediation. It suits students who want to solve real environmental problems with engineering tools and are willing to do mandatory work terms alongside their studies.	In your first semester, you take core engineering courses in math, physics, and design while exploring different engineering specializations — aerospace, chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, software, and manufacturing. You won't choose your specific engineering stream until after first semester, letting you test what each field actually involves before committing. This suits students who are confident they want engineering but unsure which branch matches their interests and strengths.
