Imagine designing a building that can supply its own energy. As a building engineer, you will find creative solutions to reduce energy consumption, help combat global warming and improve quality of life. You’ll create synergy between the thermal, structural, acoustic and energy systems of a building by applying the principles of civil, mechanical and electrical engineering.
Our Building Engineering program is the only one of its kind in Canada. In state-of-the-art labs designed for understanding building science, acoustics and lighting, engineering materials and solar energy, you’ll get practical experience with the tools and equipment you will use in the field. Through labs, lectures and projects, you’ll also:
- Study the life cycle of enclosed built facilities (conception, planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance and rehabilitation)
- Study the properties of building materials and building systems
- Study HVAC systems, energy efficiency, thermal comfort and indoor air quality
- Analyze a building’s structural properties and requirements
Our program is accredited by the Engineers Canada and you’ll graduate eligible to become a registered professional engineer. |
