Conestoga College’s Architecture – Construction Engineering Technology is for students who are interested in sustainable building design and construction, and are seeking a challenging and rewarding career. Students will develop a passion for architectural design, engineering, and construction in this dynamic and unique three-year advanced diploma program. They will gain a thorough understanding of the entire building process from design to construction from experienced faculty with close ties to the industry.
The program offers an optional co-op stream that includes two paid co-op work terms, enhancing practical experience for students. The key subject areas covered include Architectural, Structural, Building Code, Mechanical, Electrical, and Construction Management. Each year challenges students with hands-on learning to design and model real-world projects and solutions. In the third year, a Major Capstone Project involves teamwork to take a large project from design concept to final construction documents. Field trips to construction sites and product manufacturers, along with guest lecturers, further support practical learning. Additionally, an Annual Networking Event provides opportunities for students to connect with local construction companies and industry professionals.

This program has been very poorly administered from a scheduling standpoint.
The course is divided into 5 levels with scheduled breaks between each level. When Levels 3 and 4 became available, I registered and arranged my vacation time with work around the published schedule and the week break between levels.
Only one week before Level 3 was supposed to begin, the start date was delayed by a week. This now places my previously approved vacation during the final week of the level.
What is even more frustrating is that there has been no clear communication on whether the remaining levels will also shift by a week or whether they plan to remove the scheduled break between Levels 3 and 4 entirely.
Most students in part-time evening programs are balancing work and personal commitments, so reliable scheduling and timely communication are important. Delays can happen, but changing dates with very little notice and failing to provide a clear updated schedule shows a lack of organization and consideration for students.

conestoga refuses to give me back my money due to the fact that i didnt withdrew on time, despite showing my health related isses why i was unable to withdrew on time, they still refuses which means to me that they dont really care about international student wellbeing. Also, during exams i didnt know the camera didnt caption my student card properly, despite the professor seeing me bring it out of my pocket i was giving zero for someone learning how to use computer to write exams for the first time, because of that i have to pay addictional $1000+ to rewrite the course just because the camera didnt capture the card properly how ridiculous. Conestoga will do anything to rip international student. I wont recommend this school even to my enemy.
