Civil Engineering Technology: Architectural

If you like the idea of combining creative design with physics and math, then the Civil Engineering Technology: Architectural program is for you. As an architectural technologist, you participate in the development of architectural designs, analysis of building codes, and application of by-laws and utilization of space and site requirements. You may work independently or provide technical assistance to professional architects and civil design engineers in conducting research; preparing drawings, architectural models, specifications and contracts; and in supervising construction projects. The first year of training covers the basics of building engineering technology. Many courses are common and may be used as credit courses for other technology options. In the second year, you specialize in courses that relate to the architectural field. A work attachment with industry participants provides you with a measure of on-the-job exposure and training in carrying out a project to completion.

• High School Diploma or Adult High School Diploma or GED Diploma of High School Equivalency
• Geometry and Applications in Mathematics 112 and Functions and Relations 112
• One (1) additional science from the following:
• • Biology 112 or 122
  • Chemistry 112 or 122
  • Physics 112 or 122 (Recommended)

As a graduate of this program, you may be employed as an architectural technologist, architectural design technologist and a residential building technologist in engineering consulting offices and architectural firms; in the civil inspection field; with companies employing quantity surveyors; and with municipal, provincial and federal government departments and services.

Consult your local campus for courses that provide the prerequisites for technology programs at New Brunswick Community College. The Canadian Council of Technicians and Technologists nationally accredits this program at the technologist level. Upon successful completion of this program and with two years of acceptable work experience, you may be eligible for certification by the New Brunswick Society of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists. Many universities give credit for courses completed in this program; however, assessment is normally completed on an individual basis. This is a L.I.V.E. program. NBCC L.I.V.E. students have a world of knowledge at their fingertips via the NBCC wireless network. Classes that use the L.I.V.E. program are different from traditional classes because students may find themselves completing class assignments online or maintaining an electronic journal. When not in the classroom, students can still communicate with their classmates and instructors in an electronic medium, measure their knowledge through online tests, or simply conduct research on the internet.
