Civil Engineering Technology: Structural

If you were a Lego master when you were young, whose towers never toppled, and you still have an interest in buildings, that’s what the two-year Civil Engineering Technology: Structural program is all about. You’ll learn about steel, timber and reinforced concrete design, structural analysis, engineering drawings, soils and materials testing and quantity surveying. A combination of in-class and on-the-job experiences will prepare you to assist in the design and construction of building systems, and perform site inspections and testing. Your first year of training will cover the basics of building engineering technology. In your second year, you’ll specialize in all the specifics of structural technology, as well as general communications and mathematics to help you out in the business world.

• 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 could start a career as a structural design technologist, structural engineering technician, or structural investigator in engineering consulting offices. You could work in the civil inspection field or with steel fabrication firms, as well as with municipal, provincial and federal government departments and services.

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.
