Construction Engineering Technology

Humber’s Construction Engineering Technology program is one of three stackable programs within the Carpentry-Construction group. Along with the Carpentry and Renovation Techniques certificate and the Building Construction Technician diploma, the program introduces students to the carpentry trade and commercial project management while providing practical experience with trade regulations, commercial construction techniques and estimating. Students will be able to move from various certificate and diploma programs into the advanced diploma program (including Carpentry and Renovation Technician, Industrial Woodworking Technician, Carpentry and Renovation Techniques, and Building Construction Technician).

This program is designed to explore the construction industry from an engineering and management perspective. Students will become familiar with the strategies required for project planning and execution for the commercial-based industry.

Throughout the program, students will learn about compliance with workplace health and safety practices and procedures in accordance with legislation and regulations. Students also learn how to ensure that work is performed in compliance with contractual obligations, applicable laws, standards, bylaws, codes and ethical practices. Coursework will include sustainability practices. Teamwork, leadership, and supervisory and interpersonal skills will be emphasized.
