Civil engineering involves designing, constructing, and maintaining our cities to serve the needs of growing communities. As a technologist in this field, you will aid in the design and construction of subdivisions, highways, stormwater management, drinking water systems, waste water systems, landfills, and structures.

 

The Civil Engineering Technology program at Conestoga College is an advanced diploma program (with optional co-op). Students gain a balanced education in civil engineering, combined with hands-on skills in labs and the field.

 

Students will design clean water distribution, waste-water purification, and stormwater management systems; conduct designs of wood, steel, masonry, and concrete structures; test soils, road, and construction materials in the lab and the field; learn how to use modern survey technology (including GPS) and apply these techniques to land development projects; create engineering drawings using AutoCAD and Civil 3D for civil projects; study the design of roads, highways, and transportation construction management; and demonstrate their knowledge of civil engineering through a final capstone project working directly with industry experts.

 

In this program, you will be under the guidance of faculty who are passionate about their field, have strong ties to industry, and are vested in helping you to achieve your career goals. Graduates can become Certified Engineering Technologists (CET) through the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT).
