Program details
Overview
Civil Engineering Technology (Co-op) at College of the North Atlantic is a three-year diploma combining general education, discipline-specific training, and practical application. General coursework covers project management, communication, mathematics, physics, and chemistry, while specialized content addresses strength of materials, structures, fluid mechanics, and soils and foundations. Practical skills include CADD drawing, material testing, highway technology, construction surveying, and use of BIM and GIS tools. The co-op component consists of a minimum twelve-week compensated work term in semester six, giving students field experience alongside their technical training. Delivery is on-campus, offered at the Corner Brook and Ridge Road campuses. The program is accredited by Technology Accreditation Canada. It suits students who want a technology-focused, hands-on route into civil engineering work rather than a theoretical degree program. Graduates typically work with contractors, consultants, house builders, manufacturers, suppliers, and municipal, provincial, or federal governments on projects involving structural design, testing, surveying, and project management. The diploma also provides a pathway to further study, with graduates eligible for admission to the Bachelor of Technology program at Memorial University's Fisheries and Marine Institute.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:60.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Direct entry requires a High School Graduation Certificate with a 60% overall average, including English 3201 (60% minimum), Mathematics at Advanced 2200/3200 (50% minimum each) or Academic 2201 (50%)/3201 (60%), and four Science credits at 50% minimum from the programme's approved list; College Transition (with Chemistry and Physics both recommended), Adult Basic Education (Level III) Degree and Technical Profile, and mature-student routes are also accepted. English proficiency is not set at programme level and instead follows CNA's institution-wide requirement: IELTS Academic overall band 6.0, TOEFL iBT 79, PTE Academic 53, or Duolingo 105-110, waived after three years of English-medium schooling. No interview or portfolio is required.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:College of the North Atlantic accepts domestic applications on a rolling, first-come basis with no fixed opening or closing date published for any intake; the college states applications for a program remain open until it is filled, which for competitive programmes such as Practical Nursing can mean the intake closes before the term starts. International applicants apply directly to CNA; for the Fall 2026 intake the college published a closing date of 30 April 2026 (with late applications from students already holding a study permit still considered), but no equivalent Fall 2027 or Winter 2027 international date has yet been posted. Admission is therefore effectively rolling for domestic applicants and governed by a single seasonal cutoff, not yet republished, for international ones. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
