New Construction Engineering program at Fleming College
Fleming College is offering a new program at the Kawartha Trades and Technology Centre (KTTC) that will train students in the growing field of construction management.
Construction Engineering Technician, a four-semester diploma program, will be offered starting in September 2016. It will emphasize sustainable design principles and will provide students with the technical skills and knowledge required to assist in the management of all phases of construction projects – residential, small commercial, and industrial.
“This new program is a great addition to our School’s offerings. It gives prospective students a wider array of choices in planning their future in the Trades,” said Maxine Mann, Dean, School of Trades and Technology at Fleming.
Within the program, students will learn about on-site building engineering and safety, building codes, quality control testing of various building materials, and energy and environmental technologies. As well, students will use specialized construction management estimating software.
“The program allows students to choose a variety of pathways that build on their individual strengths and that best suit their career goals,” said Mann.
