Civil Engineering Undergraduate Society

The Civil Engineering Undergraduate Society (CEUS) is a student organization within the Department of Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics. Our purpose is to hold activities and events that promote a sense of community within the Civil Engineering department. The CEUS also works closely with the Engineering Undergraduate Society of McGill. All undergraduate students studying civil engineering automatically become members of the CEUS upon registration.

For more information, please visit our website, Facebook page, or check out the Civil Newsletter (automatically sent to all civil engineering students)

Activities

The CEUS organizes a wide range of activities for Civil Students! Activities can range from social events, industry tours, academic events, etc.

Civil Colloquium

Colloquium is an annual departmental trip hosted by the CEUS. This multi-day excursion (Thursday to Sunday) with around 40 of your fellow civvies will take you to another city and provide you with amazing memories! The trip lasts 4 days and is comprised of industry tours as well as social events. During the days, students are immersed in their future profession by visiting multiple sites in all four specializations of civil engineering. After a fruitful day of site visits, students enjoy the tourist aspects of the destination and partake in multiple night events that are organized over the weekend, from traditional pub crawls to professional hockey games! Transport, accommodation and some meals are provided!
