Gain the skills to design, draft, cost and manage the construction of buildings, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure projects.
Become a civil engineering design and construction professional through our hands-on learning approach that combines theoretical training, advanced technology and applied learning. You’ll learn about building science and the building process; this entails engineering, drafting both 2D and 3D, construction management, virtual and augmented technology, structural design, geotechnical engineering, and construction management principles, including estimating and project scheduling.
You’ll also develop your knowledge of material science by exploring the strength of building materials, building science and sustainability, mixing concrete, testing materials and asphalt samples, and discovering the importance of soil mechanics to building projects. In addition, you’ll learn about urban services, water resources, transportation infrastructure and technical communications.
This two-year diploma program consists of four 15-week semesters. The first two semesters are common to all students in the program to prepare you for your second-year majors.
In your third and fourth semesters, you will specialize in the Construction Management major, where your studies will focus on buildings construction design, estimating and construction execution for residential and commercial construction.
