CIVIL ENGINEERING
TECHNOLOGY
221.B0
Civil Engineering Technology is a three-year program that trains students in the management and design of construction projects, in
surveying, in environmental studies, and in the laboratory techniques used in testing concrete, asphalt, soils and crushed stone. This
program is the only one of its kind among anglophone colleges in Quebec.
Among the skills students in Civil Engineering Technology
will acquire are:
• preparing engineering drawings using both the computer
and the drafting table
• developing project management skills such as construction
schedules and cost control
• assessing environmental impact of various construction projects
• performing basic design calculations for steel, concrete
and wood structures
• planning, designing, constructing and managing various
infrastructure projects
In the final year of study, students participate in a training internship that will allow them to apply their skills in the field. Graduates may
enter the job market directly or choose to pursue further studies in engineering at university. Depending on the university chosen,
students may be granted credits toward their degree program or additional prerequisite courses may be required.
Career Opportunities
Graduates of this program will be qualified to work on the
construction of private developments and public facilities like
roads, buildings, and water distribution and sewer systems. They
typically work under the supervision of engineers.
Admission Requirements
Diploma of Secondary Studies (DES), including
• Secondary V Language of Instruction
• Secondary V Second Language
• Secondary IV Science
