Overview
Program Overview
The Civil Engineering Technology advanced diploma program is a three-year program that focuses on the planning, design and construction of roads, bridges, tunnels, subdivisions, buildings, municipal services and heavy infrastructure. Students learn to ensure projects are functional, economical and meet standards and codes. There is a blend of lectures, laboratories and tutorials, with a focus on real drawing sets. There is an option for co-op.
Full Description
The Civil Engineering Technology advanced diploma program includes:
- 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.
Your Field Education Options
Students are encouraged to secure summer employment in the civil and construction sectors. This summer fieldwork reinforces and extends the classroom training.
The Industry Liaison Office helps students connect with industry for field experience opportunities.
Co-op is offered after semester 5 to eligible students. Co-op placement term is 8–12 months. The students selected for co-op go for placement in the winter semester after completing semester 5 and do their semester 6 in the following winter semester when they return from their co-op.

Overview
Program Overview
The Civil Engineering Technology advanced diploma program is a three-year 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. Students learn the theoretical aspects of various construction technologies in the lecture classes and then work hands-on with actual project drawing sets in the labs. This program also teaches CIM (Civil Information Modelling) through the use of the latest industry-standard software. There is an option for co-op.
Full Description
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.
Your Field Education Options
Field experience combines classroom learning with hands-on work experience structured to meet specific curricular outcomes. This approach to education relies upon a three-way partnership: the student, the institution and industry. Success depends upon the co-operative efforts of each party. It forms the basis for students’ experiential learning which is achieved when the cycle of experience, reflection and learning is completed. It is a mandatory component of the T164 Civil Engineering Technology program. Field experience positions can be paid or unpaid. Both fulfill the academic requirement as well as strengthen students’ resumes, positioning them more effectively for future employment.
The field experience requires students to accumulate 100 hours of construction industry-related experience over the course of their third and fourth semesters. The field experience is facilitated through the Angelo DelZotto (ADZ) School of Construction Management, via collaborative efforts from the academic supervisors, program coordinators and the Chair.
The program offers a co-op in the fifth semester. Entry to the co-op stream is competitive and is based on GPA and an interview process.
Program Learning Outcomes
The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to:
- 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 monitor that work is performed in compliance with contractual obligations, applicable laws, standards, bylaws, codes and ethical practices in the civil engineering field.
- Promote and carry out sustainable practices in accordance with contract documents, industry standards and environmental legislative requirements.
- Facilitate collaboration and interaction among the project team and project stakeholders to support civil engineering projects.
- Collect, process, analyze and coordinate 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, technical mathematics and principles of science to the review, production and/or modification of project plans.
- Contribute to the scheduling, coordination and cost estimation of civil engineering projects and monitor their progression by applying principles of construction project management.
- Coordinate and perform quality control testing and evaluate equipment, materials and methods used in the implementation and completion of civil engineering projects.
- Apply teamwork, leadership, supervision and interpersonal skills when working individually or within multidisciplinary teams to complete civil engineering projects.
