Course Information

Infrastructure is the glue that keeps cities and towns connected, vibrant, and safe. From water, to storm, sewer and highway systems, our health and safety relies on trained and experienced civil engineers to maintain, design and build the vital infrastructure of our cities and towns.

What to expect from our civil engineering courses

With Fanshawe’s Civil Engineering Technology program, you'll study structural engineering concepts like the design of steel frame and reinforced concrete buildings. In our civil engineering courses you will analyze theories for the treatment of water, sewage and solid wastes. You will learn how to select and test construction materials and develop skills in computer assisted design (CAD) and drafting, electronic surveying methods and writing technical reports. With a diploma in civil engineering you will be trained to ensure that our communities remain safe and connected by learning on cutting-edge engineering technology, and with in-class lectures. As well, you'll receive hands-on experience in the field of civil engineering, with a full twelve months of paid co-op.

Graduate with a diploma in civil engineering

When you graduate, your career options will be as dynamic as your training. Work with consulting engineers, surveyors, testing and inspection firms, government agencies and contractors involved in road and building construction and subdivision development. Whatever your path, civil engineering is a vital and respected career path.
