Civil Engineering

The University of Northern British Columbia offers a Civil Engineering program that will provide students with a thorough education on design, construction, and maintenance required for much of modern society’s infrastructure. Learners will not only gain an understanding of how these buildings are created, but even more importantly, how they deteriorate, and ways to minimize and repair damages.

Core principles in geotechnical, environmental, and transportation engineering, as well as sustainable development will be instilled in students as they get practical hands on work with co-ops and work placements.

With a higher-than-usual average age for engineers in the province, graduates are critical to the local economy, and in increasingly high demand, making UNBC a great place to pursue this degree.
