Civil Engineering Technology is a cluster of diploma programs that provides students with career training in construction engineering, environmental protection, and geomatics technologies. During the first year, you will acquire generic competencies in common core courses in the following areas: Algebra and trigonometry Chemistry Statics and strength of materials Surveying Technical communications Computer applications Technical drafting WHMIS General Safety Training You then apply and develop these competencies during a six-month co-operative education work term. In the second and third years*, you take more advanced courses and build on the competencies you gained in first year. The focus is on application and design. To enter into subsequent terms (both academic and co-op), and to graduate, you need a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.00. You will select one of the following program options, however progression to the option of your choice is based on GPA and prerequisites: Architectural/Engineering Technology (32-months) Environmental Technology (32-months) Geomatics Technology (32-months) Municipal Engineering Technology (32-months) Structural Engineering Technology (32-months) Building Design CAD Technology (20-months) *Except for the Building Design CAD Technology option, which is two years. Prior to starting the program, you will be invited to attend a program overview information session. You will also be invited to participate in a math and reading skills diagnostic testing session that will advise you of your program readiness. The Certified Technicians and Technologists Association of Manitoba and the Canadian Council of Technicians and Technologists accredit the 32-month Civil Engineering Technology Diploma programs. Accreditation at the Technician level is being sought for the 20-month CAD Technology program.
