College Diploma - Civil Engineering Technology

Gain the skills to design and manage the construction of buildings, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure projects.

Become a civil engineering design and construction professional through a hands-on learning approach that combines theoretical training and applied learning. Students gain knowledge of building science and the building process; this entails engineering and drafting principles, structural design, geotechnical engineering, and construction management, including estimating and project scheduling.

Student's also develop knowledge of material science by exploring the strength of building materials, mixing and testing concrete and asphalt samples, and discovering the importance of soil mechanics to building projects. In addition, they will learn about urban services, water resources, transportation infrastructure, and technical communications.

This two-year diploma program consists of four 15-week semesters. The first two semesters are common to all students in the program. In the third and fourth semesters, student's will specialize in Construction Management or Municipal Engineering. The construction management specialization is buildings construction design and construction execution. The municipal specialization is infrastructure, services, and roads. If a specialization option is oversubscribed, selection will be based on the first-year cumulative grade point average.
