Administrative history
The University of Alberta Department of Civil and Municipal Engineering was founded in 1909 and the first class graduated in 1913. The first degree in petroleum engineering was awarded in 1950, after the discovery of oil near Leduc. In 1959, the name of the department changed to the Department of Civil Engineering. The department awarded its first PhD in 1963. A BSc in Environmental Engineering was introduced in 1995, and in 1996, when the Faculty of Engineering was reorganized, the department was renamed the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The department includes the School of Mining and Petroleum Engineering, which offers graduate degrees.
The department’s objectives are to establish excellence in its staff and in undergraduate teaching; to maintain a graduate program that allows for specialization in one field while enhancing research abilities and professional development; and to advance the profession through research and technology transfer (PACCR, 1987).
Professors: 1908-1918 William Muir Edwards; 1919-1920 Robert Starr Leigh Wilson.
Heads: 1920-1946 Robert Starr Leigh Wilson; 1946-1959 Robert Macdonald Hardy; 1959-[1969] Stewart Ronald Sinclair.
