Programs & Courses
Investment in engineering construction in Ontario increased by more than 50 per cent during the last 10 years. Our graduates may choose to work in the public or private sectors of industry. They may work for a number of different employers including municipalities; engineering consulting firms; general contractor; builder/developer; architect; land or quantity surveyors; and environmental agencies. They may choose a number of career paths including structural designers; project and/or construction managers; inspectors; contract administrators; computer-aided drafting and design (CADD) operator; land or quantity surveying; environmental protection; and drinking water system operator.
The Civil Engineering Technology program provides our students with both the technical and complementary skills essential to adapt to a continually changing industry.
Students learn to design and construct municipal infrastructure including concrete, steel and timber structures. Students will use electronic surveying and global positioning equipment to produce plans for subdivisions, highways, and sites. They use computer-aided drafting and design (CADD) software and structural analysis software to draw, design, and produce graphics for the construction of bridges, buildings and dams. Students also learn how to design and operate drinking water and wastewater treatment systems, as well as water distribution and sewage collection systems. Project management, laboratory soil testing, and determining construction material suitability are among additional skills students will develop.
Humber's facilities include well-equipped laboratories and cutting-edge computer programs and equipment.
Students initiate their own placement for the paid co-op work term, which normally takes place May through August following semester four. It lasts four months, with a minimum of 400 hours. Students must successfully complete a career management course to help them develop effective job search skills, prior to the work term. Humber provides a range of services to support students, including working with business, industry and government to identify co-op employment opportunities.
The Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) recognizes the Civil Engineering Technology program as meeting the academic requirements for certification in the technologist category.
Note: Refer to the Selection Procedures for more information
Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the program.
The 2009/2010 fee for two semesters was
- domestic $3,325.70
- international $11,730.
