College Diploma - Civil Engineering Technician (421)

Students will develop a broad understanding of planning, design, surveying, material science and construction in a variety of engineering industries.

Program Highlights: • Emphasis on the disciplines of project management, Civil 3D software and municipal services. • Common first semester allows mobility between five different program areas within the Building and Construction Sciences cluster.

Learning outcomes:

• Understand municipal services, roadway design and construction techniques, construction layout, electronic surveying and global positioning systems (GPS) applications. • CAD, plan reading and visualization skills needed to create plans for today’s modern infrastructure. • Explore building and construction materials, project management and estimating. • Develop procedures for construction, materials testing and inspection and geotechnical services. • How structures work by learning the science of their materials.

Students in the program will learn about municipal services, roadway design and construction techniques, construction layout, electronic surveying and Global Positioning Systems applications.

Civil Engineering Technician students will experience a very hands-on education consisting of many labs and practical projects over four semesters.
