Program description
In order for our cities and infrastructure to operate effectively and sustainably, civil engineering technologists are crucial. They make up the backbone of the teams that plan, create, build, and maintain infrastructure such as roads, bridges, sewage systems, and water delivery systems. These systems maintain the functionality of our water and transportation systems and offer secure structures for both private and public services.
This three-year advanced diploma in civil engineering offers a solid grounding in fundamental civil engineering topics with a focus on municipal engineering, structural design, water resources, and surveying. The course material offers a well-rounded education in engineering theory along with hands-on experience in laboratories and the field.
