College Diploma - Engineering Technology - First Year to Civil Engineering Technology (Co-op) (Transfer to Corner Brook Campus)

Engineering Technology: The college offers a common first year in Engineering Technology. This allows students to complete the first two semesters of the engineering technology program that they have been accepted to. After completing the first two semesters, students must enter the campus which offers the program of their choice to complete the seven week Intersession (May, June), and the subsequent years of their program. Civil Engineering Technology: The field of civil design and construction plays a central role in the economic viability of many industries and the province as a whole. The civil field includes such areas as residential, commercial, and industrial buildings; harbours, airports, roads, and other transportation facilities; and municipal infrastructure.

A graduate of the Civil Engineering Technology (Co-op) program will have the knowledge and skills that will allow them to: • Analyze the structural reactions of engineering work. • Participate in the scheduling of civil engineering projects and monitor the work. • Assist in planning, designing, inspecting, supervising, and constructing civil engineering projects. • Plan and design municipal infrastructure projects. • Assist with designing, inspecting and troubleshooting of transportation infrastructure. • Design, calculate and test asphalt and concrete mixes to industry standards and specifications. • Carry out engineering survey and construction layouts using conventional survey instruments, GIS, and GPS systems.

Note: Students will spend their first two semesters at Gander campus before transferring to Corner Brook campus to complete the rest of their degree.
