About the OCIENE

The Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Environmental Engineering (OCIENE) was established in 2000 by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carleton University, the Department of Civil Engineering and the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Ottawa. The Institute was established to combine the research strengths of the three departments and to give students access to the professors, courses and facilities at both universities. Students register at the university with which their supervisor is affiliated but have access to the classes and facilities at both universities. Although the primary language of the Institute is English, some courses in the Institute’s programs may be offered in French at the University of Ottawa, which is a bilingual university.

Related fields of study and research in environmental engineering are also available through the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Civil Engineering (which offers graduate degrees in Civil Engineering) and the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Ottawa (which offers graduate degrees in Chemical Engineering).
