Courses numbered within the 500 series are considered to be undergraduate courses but are intended to form a transition from the undergraduate to the graduate programme in certain areas of Civil Engineeing. They serve two major functions: 1) to provide technical electives for the undergraduate so that he may specialize in a particular area. 2) to provide background information for the graduate student when such is lacking. Courses of this series may be credited toward a graduate degree.

Graduate and Research Programmes
Both co-operative and conventional graduate study leading to the degree of Master of Applied Science (M.A.Sc.) or Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) can be undertaken in Civil Engineering. At present, there are five major areas of study in which specialization may be undertaken: Structural Engineering and Applied Mechanics, Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Water Resources and Sanitary Engineering, Transportation Planning and Engineering, and Hydraulics and Water Resources Systems Planning.
The following is the numbering scheme used for graduate courses in Civil Engineering.
Courses in the 600 series are regular lecture courses normally available every calendar year. Courses in the 700 series provide flexibility and may be offered when there is sufficient demand and when faculty are available. To complement these courses in Civil Engineering, additional courses are available for graduate study in other fields of engineering, mathematics, computer programming, urban and regional planning, economics, geography, hydrology, chemistry, sociology, operations research, earth sciences and biology.
Current research in the five major areas of specialization include the following.
Major subdivisions of study are applied mechanics, structural mechanics, concrete structures, properties of materials, experimental mechanics and stochastic systems. Current research includes studies in structural stability and dynamics, large deflections of membranes, elastic and inelastic continua, structural response to random excitation hydroelasticity analysis and design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures, structural optimization, computer aided design of structures, strength and safety of structures, analysis of latticed space structures, strength of pressure vessels, plastic behaviour of shells, mechanisms of fatigue failure in materials, long-wave photoelasticity techniques in fatigue and flow problems, and nonlinear stochastic processes.
The major areas of study are urban transportation planning, transportation systems analysis, highway planning and engineering, traffic engineering and air transport planning. Current research activities include investigations in transportation systems analysis, urban transportation analysis methods, urban land use models, economic analysis of transportation systems, inter-city air transportation of persons and goods and studies of bituminous materials.

Department of Civil Engineering
Major subdivisions of study in this area are soil mechanics, foundation engineering geology. Current activities include studies on the yielding of soils, settlkement of structures, model testing, seepage and engineering geology.
At the present time, research involves work on the kinetics of biological waste treatment (aerobic and anaerobic), specific industrial waste treatment problems, the use of coal for waste treatment, evaluation of the applicability of trickling filters for waste treatment in cold climates, scale-up in activated sludge, protein sparing in biological systems. Both laboratory-scale and pilot plant facilities are being used in these studies. Research is also being conducted in the areas of nutrient removal and solidliquid separation. The Department has several well-equipped laboratories that are used for demonstrations, teaching and research. Biological and chemical plant units are used to study and evaluate new methods to improve water and waste quality.
Current research in this area lies in the fields of open channel hydraulics, sediment transport, hydroelastic vibrations and water resources systems planning.
