Graduates of this diploma program are trained to: proposal development (construction of roads, bridges, sewers, water mains, and other infrastructure), cost estimation, field work (materials testing and project administration), apply communication, documentation, computer applications, information technology, and teamwork skills to support the civil engineering activities of an organization.
A special feature of this program is the “capstone” Engineering Project course taken at the end of the third term which includes such topics as: project management concepts; needs identification techniques; proposed solutions preparation; the project life cycle; the project manager’s responsibilities and skills; the effective project team; types of project organizations; project communications and documentation; project planning, scheduling, and control; resource considerations; and cost planning and performance evaluation. In this course, students can replicate an actual mechanical engineering project under the direction of NAC’s instructors who are also practicing professional engineers.
Another feature is the Career Development for Engineers course taken in the final term which focuses on career planning and effective job search strategies, the techniques of researching companies, the basics of interviewing including a review of typical interview questions and role-playing, with all of this being presented and directed by senior practicing engineers who have direct and current experience with interviewing and hiring engineering technicians.

You will learn Canadian Engineering Law, Ontario Building Code, Geo Environment, Primavera, Building Science and Home Inspection, Timberline, Staad Pro, Auto CAD, Microstation, Engineering Project and Career Development modules of the program.
Who will be eligible for Advanced Standing for Civil Engineering Design and Technology Diploma program at North American College of Information Technology?
A special feature of this program is that it has been designed for recent immigrants to Canada who have substantial training and experience in Civil Engineering from another country and who find it difficult to find employment in Canada because their foreign certification or experience are not recognized by employers. When these people apply, their overseas credentials are assessed by the registrar’s office; then they have a personal meeting to discuss their qualifications; they then take an advanced placement test and they are invited to sit in on a couple of classes to get a good idea of our standards and instructional methods.
If they qualify, they can then register into the final 31 weeks of the program, where they will be taking courses such as Canadian Engineering Law, Geo Environment, Building Science, Ontario Building Code, and get trained on industry standard software packages such as Primavera, Timberline, Staad Pro, Auto CAD and Microstation.
