thili1111 said:What university is best for civil Engineering? Carleton university or university of Ottawa?
I have also been accepted to Co-op at both universities. So which one has a better Co-op program?
Zondrina said:Carleton University, hands down. Don't even think about going to Ottawa U for engineering. Even if they offer you double.

The men's Raven's basketball team has won the national championship nine times between 2002 and 2013 with five consecutive titles (between 2002–03 and 2006–07) surpassing the University of Victoria at the top of the all-time list.
Both Carleton University and the University of Ottawa offer accredited Civil Engineering programs. The main difference between the two is the curriculum and focus areas. Carleton's program has a stronger focus on structural engineering and infrastructure, while University of Ottawa's program has a stronger focus on environmental engineering and sustainable design. Additionally, Carleton's program has a co-op option, allowing students to gain hands-on experience in the field.
Both universities require students to have completed high school with a strong background in math and science courses. Carleton University also requires applicants to have taken a physics course, while University of Ottawa requires a chemistry course. In addition, both universities have a minimum grade requirement for admission into the Civil Engineering program.
Yes, it is possible to transfer between the two universities' Civil Engineering programs. However, this is subject to availability and meeting the transfer requirements of the receiving university. It is recommended to contact the admissions office of the university you wish to transfer to for more information.
Graduates of both universities' Civil Engineering programs have a wide range of career opportunities in various industries such as construction, transportation, environmental, and geotechnical engineering. Some common job titles include structural engineer, project manager, transportation planner, and environmental consultant. Both universities also have strong industry connections and career services to help graduates find employment.
Both universities have active research programs in Civil Engineering, offering students opportunities to participate in research projects and gain hands-on experience. Carleton University has a number of research centers, including the Carleton Infrastructure Protection and International Security (CIPIS) research group, while the University of Ottawa has research labs such as the Geotechnical and Environmental Research Group (GERG). Students can also work with faculty members on research projects and present their findings at conferences.
