Ours was the first environmental engineering degree program in Canada and we’ve been leading the way ever since. In this comprehensive program, you’ll get exposure to all aspects of the field — air, water, waste, site remediation, sustainability, and more. Recent additions to the program include courses in life-cycle thinking, climate change adaptation, and migration.

UWindsor is home to the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research, giving students the opportunity for collaboration between science and engineering. We have a low faculty-to-student ratio and the resources to set you up for success.

Small classes, for a hands-on experience to motivate your career.
Co-op is available for both civil and environmental engineering – four years to complete (48 months or four full calendar years), which includes three co-op work terms
Broad variety of streams available.
