Overview
The research conducted in the Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering is addressing the need for innovative solutions to society’s needs, from the deep underground to the world’s tallest structures. The dedicated students, staff, and professors are pursuing exciting research ranging from nanoscale investigations into water contamination and concrete properties, to the large-scale tests of structures under full-scale simulated earthquakes, to development of real-time mass transit models to solve urban congestion. Research is informed by extensive collaboration and interaction with industry and government partners. Facilities and breadth of research expertise are among the best in the world, offering great opportunities for involvement in ground-breaking research.
The Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering is organized into five interdisciplinary research themes: Cities & Infrastructure; Complex Systems; Energy & Environment; Mining & Subsurface Systems; and Transformative Technologies. These themes encompass the traditional civil engineering areas of Structural Engineering; Transportation Engineering; Environmental Engineering; Building Engineering and Construction Management; and Mining and Geomechanics.

For direct-entry students, more FCEs may be required depending on the student's background preparation. It is normally expected that at least one of the half courses will be taken outside of the student's principal area of research.
Comprehensive examination after completing most of the coursework and preferably within one year after first enrolment in the PhD program. This examination consists of a four- to five-day take-home written examination, followed approximately a week later by an oral examination. The examination is administered by a Comprehensive Examination Committee created and supervised by the department's Graduate Studies Committee.
Residence. Students normally must spend at least two academic years of their program on campus on a full-time basis.
The academic program must be approved by the department's Graduate Studies Committee during the student's first session.

Civil and Mineral Engineering: Cities Engineering and Management MEngCEM
Master of Engineering in Cities Engineering and Management
Program Description
Cities are the economic engines of the world. Highly skilled professionals, armed with both technical expertise and a fundamental understanding of the cross-disciplinary issues, are needed to help our cities tackle challenges to ensure the well-being of their inhabitants and economies. In the Master of Engineering: Cities Engineering and Management (MEngCEM) program, students prepare for rewarding careers in government and the private sector, addressing the critical issues and growing needs of urban centres.
To proactively respond to the changing needs of cities, the MEngCEM program offers students a practicum to apply what they have learned in the classroom.
18
The MEngCEM program can be completed through full-time studies over three continuous sessions or through an extended full-time (EFT) option over six sessions.
Full-Time Option
Minimum Admission Requirements
Applicants are admitted under the General Regulations of the School of Graduate Studies. Applicants must also satisfy the Department of Civil Engineering's additional admission requirements stated below.
A completed undergraduate degree equivalent to a four-year University of Toronto program with a minimum final-year grade point average (GPA) of mid-B (3.0 out of 4.0 or 75%). Competitive admission averages are typically near or above 80% (A–).
Applicants whose primary language is not English and who graduated from a university where the language of instruction and examination was not English must demonstrate proficiency in English. See General Regulations section 4.3 for requirements.
Applicants with backgrounds in an applied science other than engineering may be admitted. Applicants must have one year of work experience before admission to the program.
Program Requirements
Students must successfully complete a total of 5.0 full-course equivalents (FCEs) as follows:o 4.0 FCEs (eight half courses) consisting of
four core courses: CEM 1001H The Challenges of Urban Policy-Making CEM 1002H Data Analytics and Cities CEM 1003H Infrastructure and Urban Prosperity CEM 1004H Cities as Complex Systems
three infrastructure engineering electives in one of eight specialization areas (see course listing below) one technology management elective (see course listing below).
o 1.0 FCE Practicum typically completed during the Summer of Year 1.
Program Length
3 sessions (typical registration sequence: F/W/S)
Time Limit
3 years
