Program Description:

The construction industry is one of Canada’s largest employers and the demand for professional construction managers (Project Managers, Site Superintendents, Estimators) continues to grow. Construction Engineering Technology is a three-year program that will provide you with the technical, business and interpersonal skills required to effectively manage construction projects of varying size and complexity, emphasizing sustainable design principles.

You will gain an in-depth knowledge of construction industry management practices, including contracts and specifications, bidding and estimating, quantity surveying, construction law and managing schedules and cash flow. Throughout the program, you will also gain extensive computer experience working with general business software, as well as specialized Building Information Modeling (BIM), project management, bidding and estimating software that is used by the industry.

This program shares the first four semesters with the Construction Engineering Technician program. Semesters 5 and 6 prepare you for a wider range of career options in the construction sector. The management and technical courses offered in this three-year program will equip you for positions with higher levels of responsibilities and accountabilities in such areas as construction planning, project management, estimating, budget and bid preparation, sustainable building science and engineering studies.

*If you enrol in the program in January, you are required to complete semester 2 in the summer (May to August) of the same year in order to continue into semester 3 in the fall.
