Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Engineering

Sustainability has become a key consideration in both society and engineering. There is a growing need for engineers with expertise in the closely related areas of heritage conservation and sustainable building design. Carleton's program in Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Engineering teaches students a modern approach for the design and retrofit of buildings that holds sustainability as the guiding objective while respecting architectural history and significance. Students learn to consider the life cycle costs and environmental impacts of building materials, energy demand, and the effective reuse and conservation of existing structures. Students in the program work closely with Carleton's architecture students.

First-year Internship Opportunity

Unique internship opportunities are available for eligible Canadian high school students. The internship takes place during the summer after your first year. No application is required. To learn more about this program, please contact the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

High school (secondary school) graduation is the normal minimum level of study to be considered for admission to the first year of an undergraduate program at Carleton University. This is your ‘basis of admission’. Academic performance in your previous studies is the main determining factor for admission. We accept credentials from most national systems. Secondary education should normally consist of a minimum of 12 years of study. For some countries, where the secondary system is fewer than 12 years, applicants may be required to have completed one year of university study.

You will need to provide transcripts from your final years of high school along with your graduation diploma or certificate, and any graduation exam results. If an application is made during the final year of study, we will review mid-year or interim marks for an early/conditional offer.
