Our CEAGES (Civil, Environmental, Architectural and Geological Engineering Society) student chapter also serves as our CSCE (Canadian Society for Civil Engineering) student chapter and produces an annual report. The report was found to be the second best nationally. Congratulations CEAGES Team!

Congratulations to:

Thiruni Thirimanne, A-Society President                                               Jessica Elias, B-Society President

The chair of civil and environmental engineering has been honoured for his significant contributions to the construction industry. Carl Haas received the Construction Industry Institue's (CII) 2021 James B. Porter, Jr.

Who would have imagined that structural engineering videos made at UW would reach more than 5 million people around the world? But that is exactly what happened when Prof. Brodland (now retired) and his team made a series of videos that featured classroom models they had built.

Alumni feel new role will make a difference to Waterloo Engineering 2SLGBTQ+ community

By Carol Truemner

Faculty of Engineering

Michelle Liu and Allie Kennington were thrilled when Waterloo Engineering introduced a senior position intended to ensure all students feel respected and empowered to pursue their aspirations. 

They both feel the new role of associate dean of outreach, equity and diversity will make a difference to the Faculty’s 2SLGBTQ+ and other marginalized communities. 

Spring 2021 saw another online edition of the MTE CivE Design Pitch Competition and the CIVE400 capstone teams put on a good show. A very impressive performance by all.  Congratulations! The winning teams are:

1st Place: Team 10: EMBODY Consulting 

The class of CIVE230: Engineering and Sustainable Development have been at it again, learning remotely in Spring 2021. This is the second COVID-19 edition of the course!

Learning about sustainability requires systems-thinking and a curiosity to explore. When learning opportunities are created for students so that they may go beyond the course content by learning from the world around us and from each other, they get so much more out of the course.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has announced that Professor Emeritus Roger Green died on August 11.
