19/10/07 - The Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto is home to two very distinct undergraduate engineering programs: the Civil Engineering Program and the Lassonde Mineral Engineering Program.

Although the two programs are quite unique, we share a number of commonalities. The most important of which is our vision for the future. We envision ourselves as providing the necessary leadership in sustainable global development and in educating the very best and brightest students who will become tomorrow’s leaders.

Civil and Mineral Engineering at the University of Toronto also share a common interest in Urban Engineering. The world of the 21st century is going to be an urban one, and how we deal with urban issues will directly determine the quality of our lives. In fact, we consider Civil and Mineral Engineers to be the primary health providers of society! We are recognized as an international and national leader in many aspects of Urban Engineering, including sustainable infrastructure, environmental and societal stewardship, technology and social development, and urban transportation.

We also have major strengths in the core technologies required to build and maintain healthy cities:
infrastructure renewal/rehabilitation
intelligent transportation systems
water treatment, structural design
underground geoscience
concrete materials
building science
and construction management
Scholarships

For international students we have dedicated several prestigious entrance scholarships valued at up to $4,000 (Cdn) each. Candidates for these scholarships will be chosen based primarily on academic excellence, however, several other factors will also be taken into consideration, including: demonstrated leadership skills, volunteer activities, and extra curricular activities (such as sports, school clubs, etc.). There is no separate application for these scholarships, all students who apply for admission and who meet the criteria will be considered automatically. Successful candidates will be notified at the time of their admission offer.

What is Civil Engineering?

Civil Engineering is the art of applying scientific and mathematical principles, experience, ingenuity and common sense to develop and maintain the infrastructure that supports all human activities while protecting and improving our natural environment.
Civil Engineers interface between the needs of society, protection of the environment, and the infrastructure that makes civilization possible. We design, build and operate the infrastructure that is often take for granted, including buildings for working and living, transportation systems, water supply and treatment systems, pollution control and waste management systems. But to achieve this, we must work with people and with society in general!
What is Mineral Engineering?

Mineral Engineering is a branch of Engineering Geoscience, the science of man's interaction with the earth. It is the interdisciplinary study, development and design of subsurface space for a host of applications: mining, oil and gas exploration, hydroelectric projects, tunnels and subways, subsurface storage facilities, underground urban and shopping spaces.

Mineral engineers design subsurface infrastructures that rely on a comprehensive understanding of complex rock mechanics problems. They work across the globe to discover and develop valuable mineral resources, design the excavation and blasting methods, and engineer the plants and facilities, all in an environmentally responsible manner. They also design subsurface urban infrastructure that is necessary in the evolution of cities, transmission of utilities, and transportation such as subways and train tunnels.

The U of T Advantage!

The University of Toronto is Canada's largest and most distinguished university, and is consistently ranked Canada's top research-intensive university. We are internationally reknowned for the quality of our education and the expertise of our graduates. Our library has over 15 million holdings and is one of the top 4 research libraries in North America. U of T has over 6,000 international students, about nine per cent of our student population of more than 67,000 students. But the academic and collegial structure allows students to feel they are part of a small community.

Professional Experience Year (PEY)
PEY is a 12 – 16 month internship program in which you may choose to participate after your 2nd or 3rd year. Participation in this program allows you to gain some valuable work experience and earn some money. Check out the PEY website at (www.pey.utoronto.ca) to get more information and to check out profiles of previous participants.

The Jeffrey Skoll BASc/MBA Program

This unique program, recently established by the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering and the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, provides a fast track for gifted students to earn their Bachelor's degree in engineering, a PEY, a management internship, and an MBA in six years and eight months. For more information go to: www.rotman.utoronto.ca/skoll/

Residence/Accommodation Guarantee

Living right on campus puts you close to it all: your classes, U of T’s extensive facilities, and downtown Toronto! There are several different types of residences – one is sure to suit your needs. And space is guaranteed for every new full-time, first year student who has not attended university previously, and is offered admission by July 1 and who has requested residence information on his or her application.

Student Life

Toronto is a global city, a city that welcomes visitors, students and immigrants from all over the world to contribute to the multicultural environment that we are so proud of. The University of Toronto is thus a global university. We have dedicated staff at the International Students Centre that are able to assist international students with all of their non-academic inquiries, from adjusting to life in Canada to information on visas, housing, health care, and even a “buddy program” that matches international students with current students to help in the adjustment. Please visit www.isc.utoronto.ca/ for more information U of T places great emphasis on the student experience, and has more than 340 student clubs and organizations on all three campuses and innumerable activities ranging from cultural events at Hart House to intercollegiate and intramural sporting activities. In Engineering, the Engineering Society represents all undergraduate engineering students, is responsible for organizing numerous special events such as Orientation, intramural sports, and hosting the weekly pub.

The Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, through its student chapter, organizes technical presentations, field expeditions and a very successful Annual Career Fair, where industry representatives are invited to talk to students about opportunities in the industry. The Civil and Mineral Clubs organize and host student social events such as movie nights and the annual CIV/MIN Dinner.

We are very fortunate to be located in the heart of downtown Toronto - Canada's most multicultural and cosmopolitan city. Here you will find every imaginable form of entertainment - theatre, dance and music; museums and art galleries; bars, clubs and coffee houses; theme parks and zoos; and professional sports teams ranked among the best in North America. A wide variety of ethnic restaurants and fast-food outlets are within walking distance of the campus, catering to and capable of satisfying any taste and budget. We are conveniently accessible through a safe and excellent public transit system. With its strong and varied international representation, students are afforded a unique opportunity to meet with people from all over the world.
