Bachelor of Science in Engineering - Civil Engineering (Geotechnical)

They set the standards, measure up (and sideways) and stand strong on stable foundations. Dedicate yourself to creating a safer and healthier world through the infrastructure that makes daily life possible.

Work where people, systems and the environment intersect.

UNB has trained engineers for 170 years - the first lecture in Canada took place here in 1853. And we have only improved with age, now training engineers for a climate-adapting world.

All structures require stable foundations. Become an expert in the design of this connection between structure and soil. Deal with the largest and heaviest structures in the world such as earth-filled dams and embankments. Or create the foundations for structures constructed with steel and concrete. Consider environmental factors such as precipitation and evaporation as these are key to stable foundations. Geotechnical projects include:

foundation design
slopetrench stability analysis
retaining wall design
