Program details

Overview

Technologie du genie civil (Civil Engineering Technology) is a three-year Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) technical program at Cegep de Rimouski that trains technologists to work on projects involving buildings, bridges, roads, municipal infrastructure, dams and coastal or riverine environments. The six-trimester curriculum, weighted heavily toward laboratory work alongside classroom instruction, covers mathematics, physics, civil design, structural analysis, materials testing, hydraulics and project management, with specialized content on riverine and coastal settings reflecting the region. The program includes an alternance travail-etudes (work-study) option and a workplace internship in the fifth trimester, and students may work toward American Concrete Institute Level 1 certification. Coverage spans five areas of practice: surveys and inspections, geotechnics and materials, structures and buildings, road and urban infrastructure, and project management. The program suits students interested in construction site supervision, civil engineering project analysis or infrastructure design. Graduates work as project estimators, construction supervisors, surveyors, drafters or materials technicians, and some course credit may be recognized toward Universite du Quebec a Rimouski's civil engineering bachelor's degree.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission runs through Quebec's collegial admissions portal (SRACQ); applicants who meet the published requirements are generally admitted, and anyone missing a prerequisite can complete it through the Tremplin DEC pathway before starting the program. Required: a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) or its equivalent, plus Mathematics under either the Technico-sciences or the Sciences naturelles sequence (5th year secondary), and Science et technologie together with Science et technologie de l'environnement (4th year secondary), or Applications technologiques et scientifiques together with Science et environnement (4th year secondary). The programme page states no separate language-proficiency test, minimum grade or average, portfolio, or interview requirement beyond these course prerequisites and the DES itself.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through the Service regional d'admission au collegial de Quebec (SRACQ): for Fall 2027 entry the first-round deadline is 1 March 2027, with further rounds in May, June and August, and for Winter 2027 entry the first-round deadline is 1 November 2026, with further rounds in December and January. International applicants apply through SRACQ's separate international-student portal, but Cegep de Rimouski publishes no fixed international closing date, and requires a 7,000 CAD pre-admission deposit before issuing an admission letter. Domestic admission proceeds through successive SRACQ rounds rather than one hard cutoff, so later applicants are still considered while seats remain; no international deadline is published. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
