Bachelor of Applied Science - Civil Engineering (Optional Co-op)

The University of Northern British Columbia 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 (buildings, bridges, highways, transit systems, water and waste treatment facilities, foundations, tunnels, dams, etc.) 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.

The University of Northern British Columbia offers an integrated approach to civil engineering which is in keeping with the themes of design, life-cycle assessment, systems engineering, sustainable materials, renewable energy, and low-impact development throughout.
