Infrastructure is the glue that keeps cities and towns connected, vibrant, and safe. From water, to storm, sewer and highway systems, health and safety relies on trained and experienced civil engineers to maintain, design and build the vital infrastructure of cities and towns.
With Fanshawe College’s Civil Engineering Technology program, students will study structural engineering concepts like the design of steel frame and reinforced concrete buildings. In this civil engineering courses students will analyze theories for the treatment of water, sewage and solid wastes. They will learn how to select and test construction materials and develop skills in computer assisted design (CAD) and drafting, electronic surveying methods and writing technical reports. With a diploma in civil engineering students will be trained to ensure that communities remain safe and connected by learning on cutting-edge engineering technology, and with in-class lectures. As well, they will receive hands-on work experience in the field of civil engineering, with a full twelve months of paid co-op.
