Overview

Bachelor of Applied Science in Civil Engineering

UNBC offers a rigorous civil engineering education augmented by business skills training and opportunities for specialized instruction in several areas

Today’s civil engineer not only designs the infrastructure essential to modern society but also analyzes the effects of deterioration on infrastructure elements while considering system interdependencies and life-cycle impacts. 

Civil engineers must consider environmental impact and economic sustainability in the development of modern infrastructure.

UNBC offers an integrated approach to civil engineering, keeping with the themes of design, life-cycle assessment, systems engineering, sustainable materials, renewable energy, and low-impact development throughout.

You will build a foundation in sciences, engineering design processes and environmental issues in your first two years

In the final two years, you will develop an in-depth knowledge of civil engineering, including further exposure to practical engineering problems through a capstone design project

Design courses begin in your first year, giving you the chance to engage your creative thinking. You will hone your problem-solving skills as you take design courses every year of your program. 

In technical courses, you will learn about structural design, soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering, transportation and environmental engineering. 

Develop your professional skills in courses focusing on technical writing, teamwork, project management, professional ethics and engineering economics.

Courses use a variety of methods, including group learning, team teaching and the use of modern design suite software

A hallmark of your UNBC degree is experiential learning, which includes many hands-on laboratories, real-world design projects and undergraduate research projects with world-class engineering research professors.
