Canada’s civil infrastructure delivers essential services and is comprised of highways, roads and bridges, as well as systems for water supply, storm water management and waste water treatment. Many elements of this infrastructure are deteriorating and, in addition, there is a growing need to examine and update systems that were designed to transport energy and fuel to include renewable energy sources. The Civil Engineering Technology advanced diploma program focuses on civil infrastructure design, construction, repair and restoration strategies, business and management optimization, and applied research related to the current and emerging tools of infrastructure management and renewal. Students will gain the knowledge and skills needed to address infrastructure deterioration by investigating and applying the latest technologies to solving problems. Students will be able to make the business decisions leading to lower maintenance and repair costs, along with higher levels of service to promote public health, the environment and the economic prosperity of our communities. *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.

Graduates of the Civil Engineering Technology advanced diploma program will have developed skills related to the construction and maintenance of civil infrastructures, including optimizing and managing infrastructures such as: transportation systems, above and below ground (e.g. roads, rail systems and urban transit systems) water supply (e.g. waste treatment and dams) energy facilities (e.g. municipal facilities and utilities) Graduates will have the expertise necessary to be employed by governments, municipalities, consulting firms and construction companies, and to guide the rehabilitation, replacement and future development of Canada’s civil infrastructure. Career opportunities include job titles such as: quality control engineer project quality control field inspector safety supervisor construction jobsite engineer construction project manager field engineer scheduling analyst computer aided designer
