Description
Civil Engineering Technology is a cluster of diploma programs that provides students with career training in construction engineering, environmental engineering, and geomatics technologies.
During the first year, you will acquire generic competencies in common core courses in the following areas:
Important Advisory Note: Courses designated (M) are high in mathematical content. If you have weak mathematical skills, or if you completed Essentials Math in high school (instead of the recommended Applied Math or Pre-Calculus Math), it is strongly recommended that you take the preparatory Mathematics for Technology course available throughout Continuing Education at RRC, prior to beginning the program.
Prior to starting the program, you will be invited to attend a program overview information session. You will also be invited to participate in a math and reading skills diagnostic testing session that will advise you of your program readiness. Although the diagnostic testing is optional, we strongly recommend that you participate. Should your results be lower than a C (60%) you would benefit from taking the Mathematics for Technology course as a pre-program refresher.
After completion of the first year courses, you would then apply and develop these competencies during a six-month co-operative education work term.
In the second and third years*, you take more advanced courses and build on the competencies you gained in first year. The focus is on application and design. To enter into subsequent terms (both academic and co-op), and to graduate, you need a minimum cumulative term grade point average (CGPA) of 2.00.
You will select one of the following program options, however progression to the option of your choice is based on GPA and prerequisites:
*Third years applies to 32-month programs.
The Certified Technicians and Technologists Association of Manitoba and the Canadian Council of Technicians and Technologists accredit the 32-month Civil Engineering Technology Diploma programs. Accreditation at the Technician level is being sought for the 20-month CAD Technology program.
