TEACHING AND RESEARCHFACILITIESTeaching and research facilities<strong>The</strong> teaching and research facilities in theDepartment <strong>of</strong> <strong>Civil</strong> <strong>Engineering</strong> have greatlycontributed to new developments for thegrowing city <strong>of</strong> Calgary, and also help toenhance the learning experience by providingstudents with hands-on learning experience.Research LaboratoriesGeoenvironmental Research LaboratoryM.A. Ward Structural LaboratoryEnvironmental Information Systems LaboratoryCCIT Structural High BayAdvanced Geomechanics Testing LaboratoryMaterials Preparation LaboratoryGeotechnical Gas Hydrates Research LaboratorySmall Specimen Testing LaboratoryGassy Soils Research Laboratory<strong>The</strong>rmal Testing LaboratoryAdvanced Hydraulics LaboratoryDurability LaboratoryIntelligent Transportation LaboratoryCreep LaboratoryConstruction Monitoring &Visualization LaboratoryHusky Energy Bituminous MaterialsResearch LaboratoryProject Management & Simulation LaboratoryBiomedical <strong>Engineering</strong> Laboratory SuitesRogers Pass Avalanche Field StationBlue River Avalanche Field StationDepartment <strong>of</strong> <strong>Civil</strong> <strong>Engineering</strong><strong>Schulich</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Engineering</strong><strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> CalgaryEN F262, 2500 <strong>University</strong> Drive NWCalgary, Alberta T2N 1N4Phone: 403-220-5821www.schulich.ucalgary.ca/civil<strong>Civil</strong> <strong>Engineering</strong>at the <strong>Schulich</strong> <strong>School</strong><strong>of</strong> <strong>Engineering</strong>
Calgary is the fastest growing city in Canada, andnow home to over a million residents. It presentsa world <strong>of</strong> opportunity for civil engineers, as civilengineering is involved in designing, buildingand maintaining almost every aspect <strong>of</strong> bothour built and natural environments.UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES<strong>Civil</strong> <strong>Engineering</strong> DegreeStudents who graduate from the Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>Civil</strong><strong>Engineering</strong> have one <strong>of</strong> the most diverse engineeringdegrees. Career opportunities after graduation can befound in construction, transportation systems, water andsewage system management, mining, railway and light railtransit systems as well as environmental management,protection and rehabilitation, among many others.GRADUATE STUDIESDegrees <strong>of</strong>fered include:• Doctor <strong>of</strong> Philosophy (PhD)• Master <strong>of</strong> Science (MSc)• Master <strong>of</strong> <strong>Engineering</strong> (MEng-T) <strong>The</strong>sis-based• Master <strong>of</strong> <strong>Engineering</strong> (MEng-C) Course-basedIn graduate studies, faculty members supervisestudents in the following areas:Minor in Transportation <strong>Engineering</strong>This minor provides students with the skills necessaryto plan transportation systems. It covers highway planningand engineering, accident analysis and preventionand planning public transit systems.AvalancheBiomedicalEnvironmentalGeotechnicalMaterialsProject ManagementStructuresTransportationWater ResourcesAs Calgary becomes a thrivingmetropolis in western Canada,civil engineering becomes moreintegral to the development <strong>of</strong>the public works and city life.Calgary is known for thequality <strong>of</strong> life it <strong>of</strong>fers, itsclean environment, cultureand recreation, and as aninternational travel destination,with attractions such as theRocky Mountains and theCalgary Stampede.DEPARTMENT AT A GLANCE• 31 full-time pr<strong>of</strong>essors• 7 research chairs• 9 adjunct pr<strong>of</strong>essors• 13 administrative and technicalstaff members• 250 graduate students• 100 MEng students• 80 MSc students• 70 PhD students• 70 students graduating eachyear from the BSc program• Many more engineers takeunclassified courses while workingin industryMinor in Environmental <strong>Engineering</strong><strong>The</strong> minor in environmental engineering providesstudents with a broad understanding <strong>of</strong> water, airand land pollution. Specific areas <strong>of</strong> study within theundergraduate program include water treatment,wastewater treatment, solid waste technology andmanagement as well as contamination remediation.Minor in Structural <strong>Engineering</strong><strong>The</strong> structural engineering minor provides graduateswith the skills to carry out design <strong>of</strong> structures from theconcept stage through preliminary and detailed analysisand design, using steel, reinforced concrete and masonry.Biomedical <strong>Engineering</strong> SpecializationThis leading program integrates engineering principleswith cell biology, anatomy and physiology, and includesa work internship and a supervised research thesis.Energy and Environment SpecializationThis new specialization fuses chemical engineeringtechnologies with special courses so students canwork on alternate, affordable, renewable energy,and clean air and water.
