The Certified Technicians and Technologists
Association (CTTAM) has partnered with Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba
(EGM) to create the Specific Scope of Practice License (Eng. L.).
As
a certified Engineering Licensee, you will have the opportunity to
practice engineering or geoscience within a limited scope of a specific
discipline, even if you do not have an engineering or geoscience degree.
With your RRC Polytech engineering technology diploma, you will need at least 5
years of work experience before applying (8 years total, includes
schooling).
Description
The demand for sustainable development and environmental protection is growing worldwide. The Environmental Engineering Technology program focuses on stewardship of environmental resources. The curriculum includes aspects of water resources management and protection, water supply and treatment, wastewater collection and treatment, soil remediation, solid waste management, air quality, GIS and remote sensing, environmental management, project management, and health and safety. The program provides opportunity for you to gain work experience in relevant industries through two co-op work terms.
You must register in and successfully complete Year 1 of Civil
Engineering Technology. You can then enter Environmental Engineering Technology in Year Two after your first six-month work co-op.
In the Environmental Engineering Technology program, you take more advanced courses and build on the competencies you gained in your first year. The focus is on application and design. Courses include subjects such as:
• Environmental Sciences
• Water Resources
• Water & Wastewater Treatment
• Waste Management
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
• Environmental Management
An applied technical project is incorporated into the final year.
