PROGRAM OVERVIEW

In a building or infrastructure project, Construction Engineering Technicians play an important role at the construction site. Duties include estimating, testing or inspecting materials, performing construction surveys, interpreting and applying specifications and executing sketches from contract drawings, shop and CAD drawings. This program will appeal to students with an interest in construction. They must have technical problem solving skills and the ability to work well with others.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Students receive a solid foundation in core construction engineering subjects with a balance of theory and practical knowledge.

Recognized by the Ontario Association of Certified Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) allowing easier transition to certification and increased employability in both Canada and the U.S.

Common first year between Civil Engineering Technology, Construction Engineering Technician and Architectural Technology allows for easy transfer between the three programs.

Students have the opportunity to participate in extra-curricular activities such as the Canadian National Concrete Canoe Competition and Habitat for Humanity build projects.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Construction engineering technicians can fulfill a number of roles on the construction site. Positions include site supervisor, junior estimator, or, surveyor with general contractors, architectural and engineering firms. Opportunities also exist with building product manufacturing firms, sub-contractors and government agencies.
