Civil engineering graduate programs cover four key disciplines:

Transportation studies encompass transportation economics, system planning, pavement management, roadway design, and traffic control systems.

Geological and geotechnical engineering focuses on rock mechanics, groundwater systems, petroleum engineering, soil analysis, slope stability, foundation design, and environmental geotechnics including waste management and contaminant transport.

Structural engineering and materials science explore advanced structural analysis techniques, dynamic behavior of structures, composite materials, steel and concrete design, and innovative construction materials.

Water resources and environmental engineering addresses water treatment technologies, hydraulic systems, climate resilience, watershed management, and environmental hydrology.

Ongoing research initiatives span multiple specialties: geotechnical engineering, environmental remediation, waste management solutions, hydrologic modeling, transportation infrastructure, structural engineering innovations, and construction materials development.
Students benefit from cutting-edge research facilities including:
the Saskatchewan Centre of Excellence for Transportation and Infrastructure (SCETI)
the Centre for Advanced Numerical SIMulation (CANSIM)
