Graduates find employment as technologists in many fields, including chemical analysis, research, quality assurance, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.

CO-OP/Practicum Information
This program offers a co-operative education format that integrates classroom theory with on-the-job experience by alternating academic study with work placements. These paid work placements will provide you with first-hand knowledge of a working laboratory in industry and a chance to use your acquired skills.
This co-op program is divided into six terms, two of which are co-operative education work placements. The work placements are in Term 3 and Term 6, both of which run during May, June, July, and August. The program does not have summer breaks.

The Business Management post-graduate diploma provides a unique opportunity for professionals who want to advance their careers through the development of leadership and management knowledge and skills.  Students will apply theory to real-world situations through business simulations, case studies and group projects, using industry standard software in their courses. The combination of core and elective courses and culminating with an intensive work experience will prepare students for progression into career opportunities requiring strong leadership and management skills.

Students will develop competency in key management development skill areas with relevance to business and enterprise operations, business process improvement, sustainability of the supply chain and risk assessment and mitigation. Practical application and industry projects will further hone their business skills during the four-month Work Integrated experiential learning and produce confident graduates who have real work experience to incorporate into their resumes in search of career opportunities.

You will develop the knowledge and skills required to disassemble, inspect, machine, calibrate and reassemble motor vehicle units and components. You will study internal combustion engines, automatic and standard transmissions, brakes, steering, electrical circuits, wiring, and fuel systems.
Most training will take place at RRC’s auto mechanics workshop, an environment that will give you the practical experience required for industry employment. You will also acquire industry work experience as part of this program.
Prior to starting the program, you will be invited to attend a program overview information session. You will also be invited to participate in a math and reading skills diagnostic testing session that will advise you of your program readiness.

Civil Engineering Technology is a cluster of diploma programs that provides students with career training in construction engineering, environmental engineering, and geomatics technologies.

During the first year, you will acquire generic competencies in common core courses in the following areas:

• Algebra and trigonometry (M)
• Chemistry
• Statics and strength of materials (M)
• Surveying (M)
• Technical communications
• Computer applications
• Technical drafting
• WHMIS
• General Safety Trainin

Important Advisory Note: Courses designated (M) are high in mathematical content.  If you have weak mathematical skills, or if you completed Essentials Math in high school (instead of the recommended Applied Math or Pre-Calculus Math), it is strongly recommended that you take the preparatory Mathematics for Technology course available throughout Continuing Education at RRC, prior to beginning the program.

Prior to starting the program, you will be invited to attend a program overview information session.  You will also be invited to participate in a math and reading skills diagnostic testing session that will advise you of your program readiness.  Although the diagnostic testing is optional, we strongly recommend that you participate.  Should your results be lower than a C (60%) you would benefit from taking the Mathematics for Technology course as a pre-program refresher.

After completion of the first year courses, you would then apply and develop these competencies during a six-month co-operative education work term.

In the second and third years*, you take more advanced courses and build on the competencies you gained in first year. The focus is on application and design. To enter into subsequent terms (both academic and co-op), and to graduate, you need a minimum cumulative term grade point average (CGPA) of 2.00.
