📖Introduction
The University of Ottawa, founded in 1848, is the largest bilingual (English-French) university in the world. Located in the heart of Canada's capital, Ottawa, the university has access to the great institutions of the country. With over 42,000 students, including more than 8,885 international students, the university offers a diverse and inclusive community for learning and growth. The university is committed to providing students with a rigorous education that prepares them for the challenges of the modern workforce. The faculty offers a wide range of academic programs, spanning multiple disciplines and levels of study, including the #1 French immersion program among Canadian universities. Graduates of the university enjoy a high employment rate of 97%, and the university offers over $60 million per year in student scholarships and bursaries, making education accessible and affordable for all.
Civil engineering infrastructure is the backbone upon which society is built. Civil engineers design the infrastructure that forms urban centers, including buildings, bridges, roads and other transportation networks, hydraulic infrastructure such as canals and pipe networks, water and wastewater treatment plants, and waste management facilities. Civil engineers are responsible for ensuring that this infrastructure is resilient to natural and anthropogenic hazards, including floods, earthquakes, and terrorist attacks. Given recent climate change and geopolitics, the risk imposed by such hazards is increasing, resulting in the need for stronger infrastructure with greater capacity. At the same time, construction, operation, and maintenance of this infrastructure consumes vast quantities of natural resources and energy, and industrial expansion of urbanity across the planet has degraded the biosphere and changed the atmosphere. The sustainability of society depends on innovative infrastructure design solutions that minimize resource and energy use. More resilient infrastructure may have longer design life, which improves sustainability, but may also consume more resources. Design of resilient yet sustainable infrastructure is an existential challenge for civil engineers.
There is a need and demand for highly trained civil engineering personnel with the capability of considering both sustainability and resiliency when designing infrastructure. However, conventional civil engineering training fails to consider both sustainability and resiliency simultaneously. This Concentration in Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure addresses that need.
