Course Information

Civil Engineering Technology is a three-year co-op program that focuses on the design and construction of various types of Civil Engineering projects such as buildings, roads, bridges, tunnels, heavy industrial, rail and transit, storm, sanitary and water systems. The program covers areas that include:

  • Designing reinforced concrete structures, storm, water and sanitary systems, roads and steel-framed structures.

  • Interpreting construction drawings and specifications for various types of projects through extensive practical training from project drawing sets.

  • Estimating, bidding, scheduling and managing/supervising projects using the latest software.

  • Health and safety, site management and quality management on construction sites.

  • Risk analysis and value analysis for construction projects.

  • Types of contracts used by the construction industry as well as the legal aspects of construction.

  • Business management techniques to pre-qualify projects based on expected returns, to create and manage a construction company and to understand the financial statements involved in running a construction business.

*If you enrol in the program in January, you are required to complete semester 2 in the summer (May to August) of the same year in order to continue into semester 3 in the fall.
