Dental hygiene is a fast-growing and rewarding profession for men and women interested in a career in the health sector. Dental hygiene is the 6th largest regulated heath profession in Canada with over 28,000 practitioners. Registered Dental Hygienists are highly educated, licensed and regulated healthcare professionals whose education and practice focus on the prevention of oral disease and the promotion of overall health and well-being. Dental Hygienists can work independent of or alongside a dentist and are an important part of the health care team. 

Dental hygienists practice in a variety of settings, including private dental practices, independent dental hygiene practice; public health facilities, hospitals, long term care facilities, educational institutions, research and dental industry. Dental Hygienists often have the flexibility to work full or part time in these various settings.

Dental hygienists provide services and programs to people of all ages, addressing issues related to oral health. Responsibilities of the dental hygienist include:

Patient assessment; identification of patient health status and needs; planning for patient care; delivering education and patient services and assessing the outcomes of care provided.

Specific clinical duties may include medical history taking; performing routine head and neck examinations; dental and periodontal examinations; exposing of dental images; oral hygiene education; administration of local anesthetic; scaling of teeth and preventative fluoride applications.

In the first year of this two-year program, students acquire the occupational skills and knowledge required for entry into the Heavy Mechanic Trades (HMT) industry. These skills include brakes; pneumatics; hydraulics; electrical, electronics; frames; steering; and suspension. The second year begins with heating, ventilation and air conditioning followed by all aspects of engine and supporting systems. This includes dissembling and rebuilding engines and supporting systems; troubleshooting and repairing fuel injection systems; and diagnosing engine brakes and diesel emission systems. The final semester in the second year includes trailer service; repair and diagnosing of all trailers and related components; powertrains, which speaks to clutches, manual transmission, torque converter, drivelines and automatic transmissions; and final drives and drivelines. More information can be seen in the semester syllabus. All training topics are based on the Industry Training Authority (ITA) outlines should students wish to pursue ITA certification. This diploma provides the students with the knowledge needed to challenge the HDM Standard Level Exam (SLE-1).

Civil Engineering Technology involves the planning, design and construction of roads, bridges, subdivisions, buildings, municipal services, and heavy infrastructure. Civil Engineering Technologists work in a variety of environments including construction, forestry, mining, oil and gas, and transportation. They are an essential member of the engineering team who split their time between office and field work, and, when on-site, may work in urban, rural, and remote settings.

What You Will Learn
In the 2-year Civil Engineering Technology diploma program, students will learn relevant theoretical and practical knowledge to support their work within the broad field of Civil Engineering. Courses will be delivered with components of face-to-face classroom instruction, computer-aided design and modelling, field surveying, and experimental laboratory testing. Students will develop an understanding of the engineering principles used to perform structural, hydraulic, municipal, transportation, and construction materials design. Effective technical communication and project management skills will be emphasized throughout the program. Students can expect to spend an average of 31 hours per week in class and labs, with additional time spent studying, completing assignments, and doing research.
