Advanced College Diploma - Civil Engineering Technology (T154)

Civil Engineering Technologists, as members of the engineering design team, may be involved in various phases of a construction project, including the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure such as roads, bridges, sewers, and water distribution systems. Technologists can prepare CAD drawings and bids, collect and compile data, perform survey work, and participate in the inspection and quality control processes. This program will appeal to those with an aptitude for assembly, who are analytical, enjoy problem-solving, and are strong in math.

Civil Engineering Technologists can choose to work on either side of the job site. Opportunities exist with architects, consulting engineers, material testing firms, general and sub-contractors, Municipal Public Works or the Ministry of Transportation. Typical entry positions include civil engineering technologist, draftsperson/CAD operator, estimator, inspector, and field supervisor. Those completing the program will also have the knowledge and ability to start their own construction business after a few years of practical experience.
