CSCE was founded in 1887 by prominent civil engineers in Canada.

The objectives of CSCE are:

• To facilitate the acquisition and interchange of professional knowledge among its members.
• To promote the acquisition of that species of knowledge which has special reference to the profession of Civil Engineering.
• To encourage investigation in connection with all branches and departments of knowledge connected with the profession.

The Organization

• The Society has local Sections across Canada, which provide regular technical programs, supplemented with special technical workshops of special interest to the community. Through participation at the local level, members have an opportunity to keep up to date on current Civil Engineering practices, local projects, and to network with colleagues within the community.
• Technical Divisions and Committees organize specialty technical conferences and state-of-the-art publications. Membership provides an opportunity to maintain an edge in current technical advancements in the profession.
• CSCE is governed by a Board of Directors representing the following sectors of the Society:
• Local Sections.
• Technical Activities Committee, comprising representatives of all the Technical Divisions and responsible nationally for the provision of technical programs and publications.
• Professional Activities Committee responsible nationally for the development of Career Development Programs, Membership Services and Internal Communications, and Publicity and External Communications.
• General Administration Committee responsible for administration, awards, student affairs and publications.

National Lecture Tours are organized by the Technical Divisions, and provide members with an opportunity to meet and listen to prominent Civil Engineers, who have earned wide recognition and respect amongst peers, lecture on topics of special importance and interest. Refer to the Upcoming Events Page to find out when the next tours are happening.

Annual Conferences

• Held in major cities across Canada, the Annual Conference contains insightful and informative technical papers and short courses covering all aspects of Civil Engineering.
• The conference is a two and a half-day event containing over three hundred technical papers that have been reviewed and accepted by the Technical Divisions.
• Specialty conferences are also held concurrently on particular areas of importance.
