Civil Engineers are responsible for the planning, design, construction, and management of the built environment, more generally called the infrastructure. That is, "the system of public facilities which provide for the delivery of essential services and a sustained standard of living" This system is the nation's highways, bridges, railroads, airports, and mass transit systems. It is our sewage treatment plants, water supply systems, and reservoirs. It is our industrial plants and power producing plants. It is our waterways, coastal areas and ports. It is our homes, schools, and commercial complexes.

Queen's Geological Engineering applies principles and techniques of the earth sciences to solve engineering challenges such as: building infrastructure (tunnels, caverns, foundations, dams) on, with
or through the materials beneath our feet; locating, evaluating and sustainably extracting essential mineral and energy resources;
preventing and remediating soil, rock & water contamination; managing natural hazards; and engineering tools and methods to probe into
the earth. You will study physics, chemistry, mechanics and applied mathematics as well as natural processes that shape the earth such
as earthquakes, volcanoes, tectonics, moutain building, erosion and sedimentation. You will also acquire valuable field skills and training in
state-of -the-art geological investigation and geo-engineering analysis and design.

Mechatronics is the combination of mechanical, electrical and computer engineering in the design of products and manufacturing processes.
Robotics is a subset of mechatronics – all robots are mechatronic! Robotics, however, are an elevated class of mechatronics, incorporating automation, programming, and even autonomous action.
As automation and autonomous machines become increasingly important in our society, robotics – and its parent discipline, mechatronics – are more vital than ever.
