Civil Club is a committee of undergraduate students, elected by their peers, to represent the student body in the Department of Civil Engineering. The committee acts as liaisons between the students in the department and the Faculty of Applied Science and the Engineering Society. Students are given opportunities to meet students in different years, as well as, meet Professors and Staff through org
anized events such as the Welcome Back BBQ, Bowling with Profs, and Curling with Profs. This allows students to see the ways their knowledge can be applied through visits to sights such as the Sears Tower in Chicago and the Big Dig in Boston. This year, over a hundred students travelled to New York City. The Club is also actively involved with Department related events. Civil Club aids the department in running an industry open house every year, which welcomes industry representatives from engineering companies across North America. This gives civil students an unrivalled opportunity to network with these companies to gain summer experience and full time careers. In addition, Civil Club aids graduating students by assembling their resumes for these industry representatives to ensure that the graduating class is getting ample opportunity to find jobs once they graduate. Civil Club also works hand in hand with the department to review and improve the curriculum for all students.
