The Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) ({{langx|fr|Société canadienne de génie civil}}) was founded in 1887 as the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers, renamed in 1918 as the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC), and re-established in June 1972 as a member society of the EIC under the slightly different but current name.{{cite journal|url=http://history.csce.ca/docs/History%20Notes%20feb01.pdf|title=History Notes - A Background History of the CSCE|author=Pieter R.

Members who are professional civil engineers are usually categorized and may use the post nominals as associates (AMCSCE), members (MCSCE) or fellows (FCSCE). The grade of "Fellow" is achieved through election by one's peers within the CSCE.

There are also student chapters of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering at many universities throughout the country including the University of Toronto, University of Waterloo, McGill University and the University of British Columbia.{{Cite web|url=http://csce.skule.ca/|title=CSCE University of Toronto|website=CSCE University of Toronto|access-date=2017-11-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171114041036/http://csce.skule.ca/|archive-date=2017-11-14|url-status=dead}}{{Cite web|url=https://csce.ca/about-us/organizational-chart/student_chapters|title=STUDENT CHAPTERS {{!}} CSCE / SCGC|website=csce.ca|language=en-US|access-date=2017-11-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171114094418/https://csce.ca/about-us/organizational-chart/student_chapters|archive-date=2017-11-14|url-status=dead}}{{Cite web|url=http://ubccsce.ca/|title=UBC Canadian Society for Civil Engineering Student Chapter|website=ubccsce.ca|language=en-US|access-date=2017-11-13}}

In the year 2019, the CSCE named its best paper award in construction after Osama Moselhi.{{Cite web|url=http://csce2019.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Technical-Program-of-CSCE-Construction-Conference-and-CRC-2019.pdf|title=CSCE: 7th INTERNATIONAL CONSTRUCTION CONFERENCEJOINTLY WITH THE CONSTRUCTION RESEARCH CONGRESS (CRC 2019), Technical Program|last=|first=|date=|website=|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191005165438/http://csce2019.ca:80/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Technical-Program-of-CSCE-Construction-Conference-and-CRC-2019.pdf |archive-date=2019-10-05 |access-date=}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.concordia.ca/cunews/main/stories/2019/06/17/the-canadian-society-for-civil-engineering-honours-osama-moselhis-40-years-of-contributions.html|title=Concordia University: The Canadian Society for Civil Engineering honours Osama Moselhi's 40+ years of contributions|last=|first=|date=|website=|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190617152941/http://www.concordia.ca/cunews/main/stories/2019/06/17/the-canadian-society-for-civil-engineering-honours-osama-moselhis-40-years-of-contributions.html |archive-date=2019-06-17 |access-date=}} Moselhi Best Paper Award is offered every two years in the construction specialty conference.
