Civil Engineering Technology General

Southern Alberta Institute of Technology

Southern Alberta Institute of Technology

www.sait.ca
Our Civil Engineering Technology program is designed to forge professionals equipped to design, draft, cost, and manage the construction of various infrastructure projects, including buildings, roads, bridges, and more. This two-year, intensive program offers hands-on learning combined with theoretical knowledge and the use of advanced technology. Embark on a journey encompassing all facets of civil engineering design and construction management, from foundational building science to 2D and 3D drafting, supported by the latest virtual and augmented technology. Apply your learning in real-world construction engineering scenarios, mastering structural and geotechnical engineering principles, construction estimating, and project scheduling. The program offers fall, winter, and spring intakes to accommodate your schedule. The program structure adjusts depending on your start date, allowing for summer breaks or continuous study with short breaks. Ahead of your second year, you'll select one of three specialized majors - construction management, municipal, or virtual design and construction. While we'll do our best to accommodate your preference, selection for each major is determined by the cumulative grade point average (GPA) from your first year, should a specific specialization be in high demand. Civil Engineering Technology majors Construction Management majors focus on learning how to create detailed building designs, accurately estimate project costs, and effectively manage the execution of construction projects from start to finish. Municipal Engineering majors focus on infrastructure and road design. You will delve into the design, planning, and management of essential infrastructure services, like water distribution, sewage systems, and public utilities. In road design, the focus is on the geometrics, pavement structure, and the integration of safety features to develop roadways. Virtual Design and Construction majors focus on advanced construction communication technology, digital drafting, and design delivery in the virtual world from 2D to 3D in augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR). Civil engineering careers Regardless of your major, you'll be prepared for a variety of civil engineering jobs and roles in residential and commercial construction, from site management to project leadership positions. The curriculum is built with industry input, ensuring your acquired skills are relevant and sought after. This diploma program is not just about gaining a credential; it's about building a career. If you aspire to be at the forefront of the construction industry, innovating and leading in civil engineering design and construction management, this program is your gateway.
