The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers separate degree programs in Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering. Both programs are similar in many respects but each has its own unique strengths.
Civil Engineering is an ideal choice if you’re interested in structures, fluid mechanics, hydraulics, hydrology, and geotechnical engineering. The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers MASc (Thesis Option, Major Paper Option), MEng and PhD degrees in Civil Engineering. The MASc degree is a research-based program of 2 years in which students need to complete four graduate-level courses and a thesis. They will also need an advisor and have to conduct research under the advisor’s supervision.
The MEng Degree may be awarded upon the successful completion of a total of eight courses (MEng has no research component/thesis/work with a faculty supervisor). Of these eight courses, there are five courses which must be from the student's department (major; civil) and the following three required courses: Engineering Technical Communications, Engineering Mathematics and Engineering Project
Management (to be taken in the first or second semester of the program). The Co-op program is optional, and students must apply for admission in their first study term. No funding or scholarships are available. An applicant for admission to graduate studies leading to a PhD degree in Civil engineering must normally be a graduate of a recognized university with a master's degree in applied science (MASc) or the equivalent.
Research Areas include:
Structural Engineering
Earthquake Engineering
Steel, Concrete and Composite Properties
Geotechnical Engineering
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Environmental Biotechnology
Air Pollution
Life Cycle Analysis
Renewable Energy Technologies
Water Resources and Infrastructure
Climate Change Impact and Adaptation
Intelligent Transportation Systems
The first environmental engineering degree program in Canada was offered by the University of Windsor. The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering under the University of Windsor offers MASc, MEng and PhD degrees in Environmental engineering.

An applicant for admission to graduate studies leading to a PhD degree in Electrical engineering must be a graduate of a recognized university with a master's degree in applied science (MASc) or the equivalent. The department also offers an Integrated BASc- MASc degree.
The Department of Mechanical, Automotive and Materials Engineering under the University of Windsor provides International M.A.Sc. in Automotive Engineering/Laurea Magistrale in Automotive Engineering. It is a dual degree program provided by the department with Politecnico di Torino, Italy. The students accepted into this program will start with one year of graduate study in Windsor taking courses and working on a research thesis defined and supported by FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) of North America.
To complete the master’s degree, students will then have to travel to the Politecnico di Torino and undertake an additional year of study and their thesis research with the support of Fiat again. The medium of instruction for the entire programme is English. The program starts in September and usually spans over two years.
In addition to that, while earning a Master of Applied Science (MASc) degree from the University of Windsor and a Laurea Magistrale degree from the Politecnico di Torino, the students will have the opportunity to receive solid professional training and practical experience needed to work in a competitive global workspace and in a large multinational automotive company.
The key areas of study include:
Vehicle Engineering
Powertrain Engineering
Manufacturing and Management
Virtual product and Process Engineering
Mechanical Engineering includes two broad areas of study: thermofluids (involving heat and power) and solid mechanics (involving designing mechanical parts, determining the forces on those parts during operation, and analyzing their performance as part of larger machines and systems).
The department under the University of Windsor offers MASc, MENG in Mechanical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering (Automotive Option) and the PhD degree in Engineering Materials.
The MASc is a research-based program of 2 years in which you complete four graduate-level courses and a thesis. Students will have to conduct research under their advisor’s supervision. Scholarships and graduate assistantships are available through the application. An MEng Degree may be awarded upon the successful completion of a total of eight courses (MEng has no research component/thesis/work with a faculty supervisor).
