Program Overview

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Applied Science in Civil Engineering, Engineering Management and Entrepreneurship Option is a comprehensive program that equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to design and manage infrastructure projects. Civil engineers play a crucial role in designing and developing the infrastructure that communities rely on, including buildings, bridges, canals, dams, transportation facilities, and municipal sewer and water networks.

Program Details

The program is offered in both English and French, with French courses available in the first and second years, and most third and fourth-year courses offered in English only. The program requires 132 units to complete, and students can take advantage of world-class teaching laboratories, multimedia classrooms, and outstanding computer facilities.
