Civil engineering involves designing, constructing, and maintaining our cities to serve the needs of growing communities. As a technologist in this field, you will aid in the design and construction of subdivisions, highways, stormwater management, drinking water systems, waste water systems, landfills, and structures.
The Civil Engineering Technology program at Conestoga College is an advanced diploma program (with optional co-op). Students gain a balanced education in civil engineering, combined with hands-on skills in labs and the field.
Students will design clean water distribution, waste-water purification, and stormwater management systems; conduct designs of wood, steel, masonry, and concrete structures; test soils, road, and construction materials in the lab and the field; learn how to use modern survey technology (including GPS) and apply these techniques to land development projects; create engineering drawings using AutoCAD and Civil 3D for civil projects; study the design of roads, highways, and transportation construction management; and demonstrate their knowledge of civil engineering through a final capstone project working directly with industry experts.
In this program, you will be under the guidance of faculty who are passionate about their field, have strong ties to industry, and are vested in helping you to achieve your career goals. Graduates can become Certified Engineering Technologists (CET) through the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT).

Co-op information
- Co-op programs add value to your education. Earn money while you apply what you've learned in a real workplace environment. Visit Co-operative education for more information.
- The College cannot guarantee co-op employment. All co-op students are required to conduct an independent co-op job search in addition to the supports and services provided by the Department of Co-op Education.
- Students are responsible for their own transportation and associated costs in order to complete work term requirements. Work locations may not always be readily accessible by public transportation.
- In order for a student to participate in a WIL experience/Co-op work term, students must be legally eligible to work in Canada.
Applying to the co-op stream
- All applicants apply to the non co-op program. Students will be informed of the application deadline and process to apply for the Co-op Stream. Labour market conditions determine the number of co-op seats in optional co-op programs. Not every student who meets academic eligibility requirements will be admitted to the co-op stream.
- To be considered for admission to the co-op stream, students are required to achieve a minimum overall 70% session weighted average and no course failures.
- International students will require work permits to utilize the co-op job board for job search and to accept employment. Students are currently experiencing longer than usual wait times for work permits. Please be advised that there will be no co-op program service fee refunds after the program withdrawal for refund date. Students that have not received their work permit and choose to remain in co-op after the program withdrawal for refund date do so at their own risk and will not be refunded. If you are concerned about receiving your work permit in time to achieve co-op employment, please discuss your situation with your co-op advisor as early as possible.
