There are numerous ways to meet the English Language Admission Standard. All prospective students must demonstrate English-language competency prior to admission. Earthquake Engineering Research FacilityĮnglish is the language of instruction at UBC.Research in the department of Civil Engineering includes major projects in Materials, Coastal & Ocean Engineering, Environmental Fluid Mechanics, Project & Construction Management, Earthquake Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Environmental Geotechnics, Hydrotechnical Engineering, Structural Engineering, and Transportation Engineering. The Earthquake Engineering Research Facility has outstanding capabilities, including three shaketables, able to simulate seismic events to a very complex level. The Civil Engineering Design Studio is a new facility where students can meet with peers and faculty to work on projects and gain a sense of the real-world working environment. A number of technical elective courses in the final year allow you to take additional courses in a preferred area of civil engineering. In your final year, you will work in groups on a design or laboratory project. Laboratory work is carried out in the third and fourth years. In the third and fourth years, the curriculum largely consists of civil engineering courses in various sub-disciplines including Environmental, Geotechnical, Hydraulics, Structures, and Transportation Engineering. The first year Engineering program and the second year Civil Engineering program include fundamental courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and structures. As a result, the learning experience is very personal and you have more one-on-one time with your professors.You can study intense specialization in a single field.Ĭivil Engineering provides you with a foundation in basic sciences and specific civil engineering skills. “One strength that the ASU engineering program has is small class sizes.
Kitch is right there to give me a good kick me in the butt, metaphorically speaking.”Robert Kody Womack, Class of 2022, Mechanical Engineering At times I have needed motivation for my schooling, and Dr. William Kitch and I have launched well over 100 rockets. It’s not going to be, ‘the faculty is worried about their research.’ It’s going to be, ‘how can I prepare this student, not only to become successful, but to ready them for the workplace and work on a team to come up with the best solution possible for whatever project they’re working on?”Deyton Riddle, Class of 2018, Civil Engineering Good things take time.”Robert Kody Womack, Class of 2022, Mechanical Engineering After I applied for the job, I waited for months to find out the good news. “My favorite memory at ASU was when I received an email informing me that I had been hired as the Engineering Living Learning Community Leader at ASU. I know that mentality got me the job I have today.”Ty Lee, Class of 2018, Civil Engineering This is real – what you’re doing in school is how you’d design in the field. The faculty prepare you for what the job looks like. “I got offered a job the week I graduated. By the time I graduated, I was already working in my chosen field as a civil engineer and had received an offer to stay on with the company after graduation.”Caleb Miller, Class of 2018, Civil Engineering “The engineering department is committed to graduating practice-ready engineers who have been given every opportunity to practice their technical training and develop the broader skills needed to apply that training in the workplace.
We learned about our place in the world and how society, the economy, and the environment and resiliency interact.”Robert Kody Womack, Mechanical Engineering “My favorite class at ASU has been Infrastructure and Economics of Engineering.
