Diploma in Civil Engineering Technology is a diploma in Civil Engineering & Construction programme taught at Dawson College in Westmount, Canada. The programme runs for 3 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 9,805 per semester.
Civil Engineering Technology is a three-year Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) technical program at Dawson College that trains technologists to work across five areas of civil engineering practice: surveys and inspections, geotechnics and materials, structures and buildings, road and urban infrastructure, and project management. Coursework covers engineering drawing by digital and traditional methods, land surveying, design calculations for steel, concrete and wood structures, environmental impact assessment of construction projects, and the preparation of construction proposals, schedules and cost estimates. On completion, graduates are eligible for certification as technologists through the Ordre des technologues professionnels du Quebec. The program suits students interested in supervising construction sites, analyzing civil engineering projects or working in environmental and infrastructure engineering. Graduates typically find roles in engineering design offices, municipalities, construction companies and firms supplying engineering materials, and many go on to university engineering degrees, entering with prior technical experience. Admission requires Secondary V mathematics and Secondary IV environmental science and technology.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Requires a Quebec Diploma of Secondary Studies (DES), or an academic background judged equivalent, including Secondary V Mathematics (Technical & Scientific option 564-506, or Science option 565-506) and Secondary IV Environmental Science & Technology or Environmental Science (558-404 or 558-402). No minimum grades are listed on the programme page beyond the equivalent-to-the-DES alternative pathway. English-language proficiency defers to Dawson College's general policy: applicants whose mother tongue or secondary-school language of instruction was not English must submit TOEFL iBT (minimum 4), IELTS Academic (minimum 6.0 overall), PTE Academic (minimum 50), or Duolingo (minimum 95-100 overall). The application deadline is March 1.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic and international applicants apply directly through the Dawson College Application System rather than SRAM. Applications for Winter 2027 opened 22 September 2026 with a deadline of 1 November 2026; however, international students are not eligible to apply for the Winter semester unless they already hold a valid CAQ/CSQ and Study Permit naming Dawson College, given Quebec's study-authorization processing times. Fall admission's standing deadline is 1 March, though Fall 2027 application dates were not yet posted as of September 2026 (Fall 2026 closed on 1 March 2026 with no late applications accepted). Admission is not described as rolling; these are firm deadlines. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
