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 Engineering. 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: Structures 600 - 609, 700 - 709 610 - 619, 710 - 719 Continuum Mechanics 620 - 629, 720 - 729 Applied Mathematics 630 - 639, 730 - 739 Experimental Mechanics Transportation 640 - 649, 740 - 749 650 - 659, 750 - 759 Soil Mechanics Materials 660 - 669, 760 - 769 Sanitary Engineering 670 - 679, 770 - 779 680 - 689, 780 - 789 Hydraulics & Water Resources
* 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

Department of Civil Engineering
mathematics, computer programming, urban and regional planning, economics, geography, hydrology, chemistry, sociology, operations research, earth sciences and biology.
The minimum requirements for the Ph.D. degree are outlined elsewhere under Graduate Studies. Minimum requirements for the Master’s degree in Civil Engineering are satisfied when the candidate has successfully completed either (1) Eight one-term courses accepted for graduate credit by the department plus an engineering project report (CE 807) requiring a study in depth on a topic approved by the Department. (2) Four one-term courses accepted for graduate credit, plus a thesis (CE 808) embodying the results of his research on a topic approved by the Department.
Of courses accepted as part of the candidate’s programme, at least one half must be graduate courses numbered in the 600 or 700 series. Undergraduate courses which are consistently accepted for graduate credit are numbered in the 500 series but other undergraduate courses which may be deemed appropriate in individual cases may be acceptable. (Note: depending on his background and current performance, a candidate may be asked to take more that the minimum number of required courses).
In the case of a Master’s programme involving an engineering project, two typewritten copies bound in standard Accopress binders are submitted by the candidate to the Department to be read and judged by two members of the faculty, one of whom is the Supervisor and the other appointed by him. When the project report has been accepted one copy is deposited in the Department and one is retained by the Supervisor.
In the case of a Master’s programme involving a thesis the candidate is required to present a seminar (CE 805) on the thesis topic as part of this degree programme. The details for submission of a Master’s thesis are outlined elsewhere under Graduate Studies . Master’s theses will be read and judged by three readers, namely (a) the candidate’s supervisor, (b) a faculty member appointed by the supervisor, and (c) a faculty member appointed by the department.
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, static and dynamic response of structures, propagation of elastic distrubances in solids, elastic and inelastic continua, structural response to random excitation, nonlinear stochastic processes, hydroelasticity, analysis and design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures, structural optimization, computer-aided design of structures, strength and safety of structures, strength of pressure vessels, plastic behaviour of shells, mechanisms of fatigue failure in materials, rheology, structural model mechanics, experimental stress analysis, modal analysis of contact problems, fluid flow, behaviour of plastics at elevated temperatures, theory and technique of designing experiments, and foundations of photoelasticity.

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 solid-liquid 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.
