Architectural and Engineering Technology
The new streamlined ARET program is now open for enrolment.
The ARET program emphasizes the design processes in building, civil and mechanical technologies, involving design projects for building structures, subdivisions, municipal services, and electrical, plumbing, lighting and HVAC systems.
Two-year diploma
Courses cover architectural design, statics and strength of materials, structural analysis, fluid mechanics, mechanical design, electrical design, steel design, wood design and reinforced concrete design. Students also learn about construction management, construction contracts, specifications, estimating, building regulations, technical writing and construction surveying.
Student opportunities
Use networked CADD workstations with the latest release of Autodesk software to develop computer-aided design and drafting skills. Become proficient at using Civil 3D and Revit Architecture AutoCAD, and at customizing AutoCAD software.
Careers for graduates
