Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Civil Engineering Mackenzie Building 277 Telephone: 788-5784 Fax: 788-3951 The Institute Director of the Institute: Hiroshi Tanaka Associate Director of the Institute: K.T. Law Established in 1984, the Institute combines the research strengths and resources of the Departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carleton University and the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Ottawa. Programs leading to master's and Ph.D. degrees are available through the Institute in a wide range of fields of civil engineering. Programs in water resources and environmental engineering, and in transportation engineering are centred at the University of Ottawa and Carleton University, respectively. Programs in geotechnical and structural engineering are available at both universities. Graduate students may pursue their research on either university campus, depending upon the choice of program and supervisor. Registration will be at the university to which the student's supervisor is affiliated. Requests for admission may be sent to the Director of the Institute. Members of the Institute The "home" department of each member is indicated by (C) for the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carleton University and (O) for the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Ottawa.

Applications to a qualifying program will also be considered from graduates of other engineering programs or honours science programs under the following conditions: (1) Graduates from engineering or honours science programs with a mathematics content equivalent to the civil engineering program will have to take a minimum of four qualifying undergraduate civil engineering courses in their area of graduate specialty; (2) Graduates from other science programs will have to take all the core engineering undergraduate mathematics courses in addition to the requirements specified in (1) above. The undergraduate courses required will be specified in the Certificate of Admission. Undergraduate civil engineering courses will not be accepted towards a graduate degree. Graduate students may still be required to take undergraduate courses for credit to fulfil the admission requirements. No more than one half of the program credit requirements or that stipulated in the university regulations in which the student is registered, whichever is less, can be transferred at admission. At least one half of the course work must be taken at the Institute. Program Requirements The requirements for course work are specified in terms of credits: one hour/week for one term. The requirements for the master's degree by thesis are: * Equivalent of eighteen course credits * Thesis * Participation in the civil engineering seminar series * Successful oral defence of the thesis The requirements for the master's degree by course work are: thirty six course credits of which a minimum of twenty four will be course credits and a minimum of six will be project credits. Doctor of Philosophy Admission Requirements The normal requirement for admission into the Ph.D. program is a master's degree with thesis in civil engineering. Program Requirements The requirements for course work are specified in terms of credits: one credit = one hour/week for one term. * A minimum of eighteen course credits * Participation in the civil engineering seminar series * Successful completion of written and oral comprehensive examinations in subject areas determined by the student's advisory committee * Successful completion of a thesis proposal examination * Thesis * Successful oral defence of the thesis. The examination board for all theses will include an external examiner, and when possible, professors from both departments * Subject to approval of his/her advisory committee, <%-1>a Ph.D. student may take, or be required to take, courses in other disciplines Students who have been permitted to transfer into the Ph.D. program from a master's program without having completed the master's degree, will require thirty course credits for the Ph.D. degree which include transfer of credits from the incompleted master's program. Graduate Courses In all programs, the student may choose graduate courses from either university with the approval of the adviser or the advisory committee. Graduate courses are listed below, grouped by subject area. Course descriptions may be found in the departmental section of the calendar concerned. All courses are of one term duration. The codes given in parenthesis are those used by the University of Ottawa. Courses beginning with "82" are offered at Carleton University and those beginning with "83" are offered at the University of Ottawa. Not all courses listed are necessarily given during one academic year.
