Diploma in Civil Engineering Technology

If you look around any urban area, most of what you see is the result of Civil Engineering. Learn how to plan, construct, and maintain structures and public works, while respecting and responding to the natural environment. While trial and error may work when building your own marble run, it won’t work if you’re designing a bridge. The calculation of all the forces and stresses needs to occur before anything is built and these calculations require some pretty complex math. Furthermore, a much-overlooked talent necessary in engineering is communication. Drawings, reports, site meetings, instructions to contractors, even emails and phone conversations all require communication skills. The best engineers and technologists have skills in both areas. As a Civil Engineering Technologist, you'll have the opportunity to work on: bridges, buildings, towers, silos and tunnels, highways, roads, railroads, airports and canals, protection of the environment and public health by treating water and sewage, and by protecting our streams and waterways from urban runoff, structures and subdivisions and infrastructure such as water supply, water mains, sewer mains and flood control.
