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. To find out more about how L.I.V.E. works, click here 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.
