If you look around any urban area, most of what you see is the result of Civil Engineering. Learn how to plan, design, and maintain structures and public works, while respecting and responding to the natural environment.
Is Civil Engineering Technology right for you?
While trial and error may work when building your own marble run, it won’t work if you’re designing a bridge. The calculation of all the forces and stresses needs to occur before anything is built and these calculations require some pretty complex math. Furthermore, a much-overlooked talent necessary in engineering is communication. Drawings, reports, site meetings, instructions to contractors, even emails and phone conversations all require communication skills. The best engineers and technologists have skills in both areas.
As a Civil Engineering Technologist, you'll have the opportunity to work on:
bridges, buildings, towers, silos and tunnels
highways, roads, railroads, airports and canals
protection of the environment and public health by treating water and sewage, and by protecting our streams and waterways from urban runoff
structures and subdivisions
infrastructure such as water supply, water mains, sewer mains and flood control

About this course
Obtaining a Diploma in Civil Engineering Technology is one of the quickest paths to a rewarding and well-paying career. From the most remote village to the biggest cities, there is always a need for civil engineering – whether it be installing sewers, ensuring clean water, or supervising the construction of a major skyscraper.
Civil engineering technologists assist engineers in protecting human lives at the most basic level: water that doesn't carry disease, seismic upgrading, ensuring homes don't flood, and building roads that are safe to drive on.
The program is accredited by Technology Accreditation Canada and therefore the graduates are both nationally and internationally recognized.
