Overview

Master of Engineering - Civil and Resource Engineering

Civil Engineering at Dalhousie University graduates can be found in responsible engineering and administrative positions in industry and government. Some become consultants in planning, design or construction of engineering projects or in specialized fields where the application of research to the solution of practical problems is important. 

The professional practice of a Civil Engineer includes the conception, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of private and public projects.

The Master of Engineering (MEng) degree is primarily intended for those seeking to enhance their depth and breadth of engineering knowledge beyond the bachelor's level and who will subsequently be involved in day-to-day design activities. Credit for the degree comes from a combination of coursework (seven courses) plus a design project and seminar. 

Students are required to give an oral presentation of their project results. MEng program can be completed on a part-time basis.

Courses are available in the following areas:

  • Transportation
  • Hydrotechnical Engineering
  • Environmental Engineering
  • Geotechnical Engineering
  • Materials and Structural Engineering
