The Civil Engineering Technology program is a three-year advanced diploma offered by Ontario colleges. This program teaches students how to design steel-framed structures and reinforced concrete buildings. The curriculum emphasizes practical skills such as material selection and testing, computer-aided design (CAD) proficiency, modern surveying techniques, and technical report writing. Graduates gain valuable industry experience through twelve months of paid cooperative education placements.
Civil infrastructure forms the backbone of modern communities, linking neighborhoods while ensuring public health and safety. Water management systems, transportation networks, and waste treatment facilities all depend on skilled civil engineering professionals to design, construct, and maintain these critical components of urban life.
Fanshawe's Civil Engineering Technology program covers essential structural engineering principles, including steel and concrete building design. Students examine water treatment processes, waste management systems, and material science applications. The curriculum develops technical competencies in CAD software, electronic surveying equipment, and professional documentation. Through a combination of classroom instruction and practical training, graduates become qualified to maintain and improve community infrastructure using modern engineering technologies. The program includes twelve months of paid cooperative work experience in the civil engineering field.
This comprehensive three-year co-op program addresses both municipal and structural engineering disciplines. Structural coursework focuses on steel and concrete building design, while municipal studies cover water systems, sewage networks, and transportation infrastructure. Students receive training in materials testing, computer-aided drafting, and environmental engineering principles. The surveying component teaches advanced equipment operation and professional surveying techniques. Faculty-led research projects provide students with exposure to real-world engineering scenarios, problem-solving approaches, and industry best practices.
