Diploma in Building Engineering Technology- Structural

at New Brunswick Community College - Moncton Campus Canada

Architectural and Structural Engineering Technologists see four walls as the start of endless opportunities. They create architectural designs, structural designs, and analyze ways to build for stability and safety. You’ll learn surveying and drafting, how to create drawings and models, and how to use engineering and materials science with an eye to green building technology. Many courses in your first year are common with other technology programs and provide flexibility for credit transfer. A career in this field is a solid choice with a demand for professionals who can design for style and functionality.

Financial Managers are trusted decision-makers. They research and analyze companies and effectively communicate with clients. You’ll learn about risk and return, portfolio evaluation, securities terminology, market operations, financial planning, the psychology of investing, insurance basics, and sales techniques. Our program incorporates the nationally recognized Canadian Securities Institute curriculum and offers real work experience. This is an education you can literally take to the bank.

The Business Administration: Financial Management program will prepare you to write the Canadian Securities Course Examination or the Canadian Investment Funds Exam. Graduates of the two-year Business Administration program who have achieved a minimum of a 70% average each program year may be able to transfer into the third year of a four-year degree program at Cape Breton University (CBU) or the University of New Brunswick Saint John (UNBSJ). NBCC is committed to furthering our university relationships; therefore, other university agreements may be available.

CNC Machinists are fascinated by the complex relationship between computers and machine tools. From high-tech mountain bikes to advanced fighter jets, they use numerically controlled technology to innovate machine functions by building key parts. You’ll learn how to program, set up, troubleshoot and operate advanced machine tools. This combination of practical, hands-on experience and technical theory will set you up for a prosperous career in the metalworking industries.

Agricultural Equipment Repair is vital to the smooth operation of every farm. Experts in the field know how to check farm equipment to ensure maximum performance. They diagnose equipment problems and make necessary adjustments. You’ll learn the mechanics behind each piece of farming equipment, as well as how to repair farm tractors, planters, sprayers, foragers, harvesters, tillers and other agriculturally-related attachments and material handling equipment. Farmers rely on skilled repair people to fix equipment setbacks before they become business catastrophes.

The Civil Engineering Technology program is designed to train students in the design of highway, transportation, and municipal systems. The first year of training covers engineering technology basics such as engineering science, materials technology, surveying, and drafting. Many courses are common with other technology programs and may be used for credit transfer. In the second year, students focus on subjects that relate to highway and municipal systems, including highway engineering, water, and sanitary systems, fluid mechanics, and environmental planning.

Students will learn and apply the knowledge and skills throughout the program in a real, practical, and simulated environment through lectures, extensive hands-on activities, and individual or team projects.

Sheet Metal workers are vital to the heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) industry. Workers in this field will learn to fabricate ductwork and install air distribution systems. You will learn how to use portable power tools, metal fabrication equipment, and welding and cutting equipment. The importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) and its implications for health, energy efficiency, and comfort ensures that skilled sheet metals workers will continue to be in demand.

Machinists are skilled craftspersons who use precision metal cutting and grinding machines to fabricate high quality parts. They understand the methods behind using a variety of tools to measure, cut, drill, form, shape, grind and finish metal, plastic or similar materials. You’ll learn how to produce parts based on engineered drawings and how to diagnose mechanical malfunctions. In a heightened world of industrial production, businesses rely on machinists to maximize overall performance and output.

Business Analysts are strategic thinkers who meet business needs by enabling change and designing successful operational models. You'll learn how to analyze, identify and document a business or stakeholder's needs as well as plan, manage, and monitor any proposed solutions. Organizations must adapt in order to stay relevant. As an innovative thinker you'll recommend solutions that help organizations achieve their goals and ensure long term prosperity.

Structural experts plan with durability in mind. They assist in the design and construction of building systems and perform site inspections and testing. You’ll learn about steel, timber and reinforced concrete design, soils and materials testing, and quantity surveying. Our two-year program and industry work experience also provides general communication and mathematics skills for making your mark on the business world. Structural experts are efficient thinkers and central figures in every building design.

Civil Technicians appreciate the small details while imagining the bigger picture. They may assist with building bridges, roads, airports, and harbours. They are the main source of technical support for professional engineers, scientists, and construction managers. You’ll learn skills that will help you excel in many engineering fields, including: structural, municipal, highways and transportation, water resources, geotechnical, and environmental protection. Now more than ever, Canadian industries are seeking skilled Civil Technicians to join development teams.
