University of Alberta, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, School of Mining and Petroleum Engineering (est. 1908), carries with it over a century of history, responsibility, and achievement. With the establishment of the University of Alberta in 1908, one of the first four professors, Professor William Muir Edwards, was named chair of the newly formed Department of Civil and Municipal Engineering and was appointed to teach Civil Engineering. Edwards was adored by his students, and he helped redesign Edmonton’s water intake from the North Saskatchewan River, eliminating a severe typhoid epidemic. Another key figure, Prof. I.F. Morrison, began his career at the U of A in 1912, taught the very first engineering graduating class, introduced the first course on soil mechanics, and spent his entire career at the University, teaching every subsequent class until his retirement in 1954. In 1932, Prof. Bob Hardy at the U of A introduced the first full course in Soil Mechanics in Canada. He is regarded as a prominent Canadian pioneer in the research, education, and practice of soil mechanics and foundation engineering. Recruited by Prof. Bob Hardy, Dr. Nordie Morgenstern left Imperial College London to join the U of A in 1968 and accomplished a spectacular career in the Geotechnical group. The Department continues to uphold this rich legacy of student and community focus while pushing the boundaries of innovation and societal impact. |
