Admission Requirements

Entry requirements:

English requirements:

If English is not your first language or you've received your education in a language other than English, students must produce evidence of their English Language Proficiency:

ELTS overall band of 6.5 with no band less than 6.0
TOEFL iBT 88
CAEL 70, no sub-test band score less than 60
PTE Academic 58
Conestoga English Language Test (CELT) Band 6

Other requirements:

Grade 12 compulsory English, C or U, or equivalent, OR Conestoga College Preparatory Communications
Grade 12 Mathematics, C or U, or equivalent, or Conestoga College Preparatory Mathematics for Technology & Apprenticeship
Applicants not meeting the math admission requirements may arrange for testing to assess mathematical ability.
To be considered for admission to the co-op stream, students are required to achieve a minimum overall 70% session weighted average and no course failures.
Basic computer literacy in spreadsheets and word processing is expected.
Academic eligibility for a co-op work term is based on the term that occurs two terms prior to any work term. If this term is also a co-op work term, then work term eligibility will be based on the student's achievement during the preceding academic term.
Should a student's academic performance decline considerably (including cumulative missed courses) during the term just prior to any work term, the college reserves the right to withdraw the student from the upcoming work term.
Students may only fail/defer one work term regardless of the reason(s).
Students who do not successfully complete their deferred work term will be removed from the co-op stream.
Since only one work term may be failed/deferred regardless of the reason(s), should a subsequent work term be missed/failed/unsecured (not successfully completed for any reason) the student will be immediately removed from the co-op stream.
Students who are discontinued are not eligible for co-op work terms.
To be eligible for a co-op work term, students must have a minimum 70% session weighted average and no course failures.

About the Program

In this dynamic three-year advanced diploma program, students gain a balanced education in civil engineering theory, combined with practical work in laboratories and in the field. Specialization takes place through a third-year major project. The optional co-op stream includes two co-op work terms.

Students become familiar with the structural properties of timber, steel, masonry and concrete and study the design of roads, water distribution, sewage and drainage systems. The major business aspects of civil engineering are also covered, as are technical communications skills.

The Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) conditionally recognizes this program as meeting all the academic requirements for certification in the Certified Engineering Technologist (CET) category.

Program Outcomes

Develop and use strategies to enhance professional growth and ongoing learning in the civil engineering field.
Comply with workplace health and safety practices and procedures in accordance with current legislation and regulations.
Complete duties and assist in the monitoring that work is performed in compliance with contractual obligations, applicable laws, standards, bylaws, codes and ethical practices in the civil engineering field.
Carry out sustainable practices in accordance with contract documents, industry standards and environmental legislative requirements.
Collaborate with the project team and communicate effectively with project stakeholders to support civil engineering projects.
Collect, process and interpret technical data to produce written and graphical project-related documents.
Use industry-specific electronic and digital technologies to support civil engineering projects.
Participate in the design and modeling phase of civil engineering projects by applying engineering concepts, basic technical mathematics and principles of science to the review and production of project plans.
Perform quality control testing and the monitoring of equipment, materials and methods involved in the implementation and completion of civil engineering projects.
Apply teamwork, leadership and interpersonal skills when working individually or within multidisciplinary teams to complete civil engineering projects.

Co-op Information

Co-op programs add value to your education. Earn while you apply what you learn in a real workplace environment. See the Co-op webpages.
The College cannot guarantee co-op employment. All co-op students are required to conduct an independent co-op job search in addition to the supports and services provided by the Department of Co-op Education.
Students are responsible for their own transportation and associated costs in order to complete work term requirements. Work locations may not always be readily accessible by public transportation.
