Program Overview

Construction engineering technicians work with home builders and general contractors, bid for construction work and organize and supervise the participation of various trades involved in a construction project. This two-year Construction Engineering Technician diploma program provides the technical skills and knowledge required to assist in all phases of residential, small commercial and industrial construction projects.

The Construction Engineering Technician program studies the characteristics of various building types with an appreciation for the latest energy and environmental technologies. The program also focuses on areas that include:

  • Interpretation of construction documents
  • On-site building engineering and safety
  • Quantity surveying (estimating labour, materials, and equipment required for a project)
  • Building codes and construction contracts
  • Site management practices

Laboratory courses provide practical building layout surveys and quality control testing of various building materials. You will also gain extensive computer experience, working with general business and Building Information Modeling (BIM) software and specialized construction management and estimating software.

Your Field Education Options

  • Purpose and Definition of Field Experience
    • Field experience combines classroom learning with hands-on work experience structured to meet specific curricular outcomes. This approach to education relies upon a three-way partnership: the student, the institution and industry. Success depends upon the co-operative efforts of each party. It forms the basis for students’ experiential learning which is achieved when the cycle of experience, reflection, and learning is completed. It is a mandatory component of the T161 Construction Engineering Technician program. Field experience positions can be paid or unpaid. Both fulfill the academic requirement as well as strengthen students’ resumes, positioning them more effectively for future employment.
    • The field experience requires students to accumulate 100 hours of construction industry-related experience over the course of their third and fourth semesters. The field experience is facilitated through the Angelo DelZotto (ADZ) School of Construction Management, via collaborative efforts from the academic supervisors, program coordinators, and the chair.

Program Learning Outcomes

  • The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to:
    • Develop and use strategies to enhance professional growth and ongoing learning in the construction engineering field.

    • Carry out sustainability practices in accordance with contract documents, industry standards, and environmental legislative requirements.
    • Collaborate with and facilitate communication among project stakeholders to support construction projects.
    • Collect, process and interpret technical data to produce written and graphical project-related documents.
    • Contribute to the collecting, interpreting and applying of survey/geomatics and layout information to implement construction projects.
    • Identify and use industry-specific electronic and digital technologies to support the design and construction of projects.
    • Contribute to the resolution of technical problems related to the design and implementation of construction projects by applying engineering concepts, basic technical mathematics, and building science.
    • Assist in the scheduling and monitoring of the progression of construction projects by applying principles of construction project management.
    • Assist in the preparation of accurate estimates of time, cost, quality and quantity, tenders and bids.
    • Perform quality control testing and monitoring of equipment, materials, and methods involved in the implementation and completion of construction projects.
    • Apply teamwork, leadership and interpersonal skills when working individually or within multidisciplinary teams to complete work on construction projects
