Our civil engineering programs are leading-edge, tackling such topics as self-driving cars, 3D printing of buildings, use of drones for geotechnical and building assessment, dynamic response of soils and foundations, explosion resistance of structures, multi-hazard earthquake and fire protection of structures, and advanced dynamic computer modelling of historic buildings.
Our PhD program is offered through the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Civil Engineering which gives students access to professors, courses and facilities at Carleton and the University of Ottawa. Learn more about Ottawa-Carleton Joint Institutes.
