Civil Engineering Technology Program Overview

Civil engineering influences every aspect of our physical environment or infrastructure. Civil Engineering Technologists plan, design, construct, maintain and recycle the structures in our communities, such as roads, bridges, highways, airports, pipelines and tunnels. These systems keep our transportation systems operating, water, gas and electricity supplied to consumers. It is one of the most established engineering disciplines and by far one of the busiest.

Our Civil Engineering Technology program provides a comprehensive education that prepares students with both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to thrive in the field of civil engineering.

The civil engineering program includes hands-on training in state-of-the-art labs equipped with the latest technology. Practical exercises and fieldwork provide real-world experience, allowing students in civil engineering class to apply their learning to real engineering challenges. Internships and co-op opportunities further enhance your education by immersing you in professional environments, building your resume and expanding your professional network.

Civil Engineering Technology Program Details

Civil Engineering influences every aspect of our physical environment or infrastructure. From the roads we drive on to the bridges we cross, and from the high-rise buildings in bustling cities to the tunnels that navigate through mountains, civil engineering is at the heart of creating and sustaining our built environment. It encompasses a wide range of projects, including the development of transportation networks like highways, railways, and airports, which facilitate the efficient movement of people and goods. Civil engineering is also responsible for the construction and upkeep of vital utilities and public works, such as water supply systems, sewage and waste management, and energy distribution networks. Through innovation and careful planning, civil engineers create frameworks that enhance the quality of life, drive economic growth, and support the overall functioning of society.

Civil Engineering Technologist students will be exposed to modern civil technologies and develop skills in computer assisted design (CAD) and drafting, Geographic Information System (GIS), Building Information Modelling (BIM), and safe working principles in accordance with various Canadian Civil Engineering Codes, Quality Control Standards and Regulations.

Graduates of the Civil Engineering Technology program will be able to carry out design and technical functions related to a broad range of civil engineering fields, including structural, municipal, highway and transportation engineering, water resources, geotechnical engineering, environmental protection and infrastructure rehabilitation. Skills learned in civil engineering classes will be honed through co-operative education or field placement options.

Civil Engineering Technology Program Learning Outcomes

  1. Develop and use strategies to enhance professional growth and ongoing learning in the civil engineering field.
  2. Comply with workplace health and safety practices and procedures in accordance with current legislation and regulations.
  3. Complete duties and monitor that work is performed in compliance with contractual obligations, applicable laws, standards, bylaws, codes and ethical practices in the civil engineering field.
  4. Promote and carry out sustainable practices in accordance with contract documents, industry standards and environmental legislative requirements.
  5. Facilitate the collaboration and interaction among the project team and project stakeholders to support civil engineering projects.
  6. Collect, process, analyze and coordinate technical data to produce written and graphical project-related documents.
  7. Use industry-specific electronic and digital technologies to support civil engineering projects.
  8. Participate in the design and modeling phase of civil engineering projects by applying engineering concepts, technical mathematics and principles of science to the review, production and/or modification of project plans.
  9. Contribute to the scheduling and coordination and cost estimation of civil engineering projects and monitor their progression by applying principles of construction project management.
  10. Coordinate and perform quality control testing and evaluate equipment, materials and methods used in the implementation and completion of civil engineering projects.
  11. Apply teamwork, leadership, supervision and interpersonal skills when working individually or within multidisciplinary teams to complete civil engineering projects.

Co-operative education (co-op)

The best way to succeed in your field is to immerse yourself in it! Co-op is an excellent way to build your professional network, explore career paths and apply in-class teachings to real work situations. Co-op is a model of education that integrates academic learning with workplace learning in fields relevant to our students’ academic and personal goals.

The co-op program provides a unique opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the civil engineering industry. By engaging in real-world projects, students develop a practical understanding of the challenges and responsibilities they will face in their careers. This experience enhances their resumes and gives them a competitive edge in the job market.

Graduates with a diploma in civil engineering who have participated in the co-op program are highly valued by employers for their ability to transition from academic settings to professional environments. Their hands-on experience and proven track record of applying theoretical concepts to practical problems make them well-rounded and competent professionals ready to tackle the demands of the civil engineering industry.

Students in the Civil Engineering Technology Advanced Diploma program will be invited to apply to the co-op option during their first academic semester. Entrance to the co-op option is limited and the processes for securing a work term are competitive.   Students enrolled in the co-op option are required to complete two four-month, paid work terms totalling 840 hours. Work terms are scheduled between semesters two and three and four and five of the civil engineering program. Supports are available through the Experiential Learning office to assist students with securing their work terms. In addition, the Experiential Learning office is in contact with co-op students and their employers during the work terms to help with any questions.
