Welcome to some of the most diverse areas of engineering! Our graduates are involved in everything from structural design and traffic engineering to water supply and geotechnical investigations.
Our newest program, Architectural Engineering has a lot of the core aspects of Civil Engineering such as mechanics, structural analysis and structural design, this program is more focused on buildings, specializing in design construction, renovation and rehabilitation of buildings. The diversity of our Civil Engineering program allows you to specialize in any area you choose, while our Environmental Engineering program integrates the sustainable development philosophy into the principles of water management and treatment, solid waste management, remediation of surface water and groundwater systems, biotechnology, and contaminant transport. Students of our Geological Engineering program will develop a unique portfolio of expertise with the foundations of civil engineering combined with skills in geotechnical, geological, geophysical and environmental engineering.
These skills are in demand: with the growth of energy-related exploration and resource extraction, geological engineers are in constant demand.
Whatever your program, you’ll start your career equipped with a full set of technical skills, ready for career opportunities that can even include management, consulting and self-employment.
Our graduates have gone on to careers that include:

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land promised to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
