Civil Engineering Research at the Schulich School of Engineering

RESEARCH WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT
The Department of Civil Engineering at the Schulich School of Engineering has always attracted pioneers in research, and is now home to some of the most creative and interdisciplinary groups of civil engineering researchers in the country.

Founded in 1966, the department's reputation for excellent research was established through its strengths in structures and solid mechanics.  A number of academics from around the globe were drawn to the opportunities on a new frontier.  Over the years, the department grew, and experts lead research advances in transportation, geotechnical, materials and water resources engineering.  Always on the forefront, the department is now a leader in the emerging areas of environmental engineering, biomedical engineering and project management.
