PROGRAM GOAL
A Civil Engineering Technologist plays an integral role in the design of buildings and infrastructure projects including highways, bridges, water and sewer systems. As a member of the team, the technologist assists engineers in survey work, collection and compilation of data, preparing estimates and bids for project designs and is part of the inspection and quality control process.
This program will appeal to those with an aptitude for assembly, who are analytical and enjoy problem solving and are strong in math. An interest in construction and the environment are essential.
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Job placement is exceptional for graduates who are able to fill the gap between the Engineer and Contractor. Technologists can choose to work on either side of the job site. Opportunities exist with architects, consulting engineers, material testing firms, general sub-contractors, Public Works or the Ministry of Transportation.
Typical entry positions include civil engineering technologist, draftsperson, estimator, inspector and field supervisor. Those completing the program will also have the knowledge and ability to start their own construction business.
DEGREE COMPLETION
With a minimum B average from the Civil Engineering Technology program you can enter the Bachelor of Engineering Technology at the University of Windsor and complete this credential in one year.
Graduates of this program can also further their education at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay or get credit for a Bachelor of Engineering (Civil Engineering) at Griffith University. Visit the College-University Transfer Guide website at
