Certificate in Engineering Structures

This certificate provides students with a basic knowledge of structural analysis and design for buildings, bridges and other structures. Students investigate the behavior of structural systems and elements through design exercises, case studies, and load testing of models. Students design structures using timber, masonry, steel, and concrete and gain an appreciation of structural design, with an emphasis on environmental impact associated with large scale construction.

Fridays, August 28, 2026 – December 18, 2026

6:30 PM - 9:15 PM

Journal Square Campus

$600

Certificate in Construction Surveying and Site Planning

Students learn site development, site selection, site analysis, site plans, designs, and approval processes. Students are introduced to the principles of construction surveying, project layout, and operation of surveying equipment. Topics include: interaction of surveying with other disciplines, measurements, concepts, accuracy, precision, and levelling; methods for measuring distance, elevation angles, bearings and azimuths using level instrument and transits; traverses and computations; basic topography and mapping. Laboratory and fieldwork experiences include a field trip to a nearby construction project to review equipment site planning and surveying procedures; and a team project to review steps involved in site planning through completion of two types of construction sites: a traverse and an as-built survey.

Tuesdays, September 1, 2026 – December 15, 2026

Certificate in Construction Project Management

Students learn the processes, techniques and procedures involved in a construction project from conception to completion. The certificate provides an opportunity to learn about common construction methods and materials involved. Students also learn technical skills involving in the areas of cost control, scheduling, risk analysis, delay analysis, administrative procedures, safety regulations, labor relations, and record keeping.

Certificate in Construction Cost Estimation (Quantity Surveying)

Students acquire a basic understanding of managing a project’s cost in association with reading and interpreting construction blueprints. The certificate introduces the types of cost estimation from the conceptual design phase through the more detailed design phase of a construction project. In addition, the certificate highlights the importance of controlling costs and how to monitor project cash flow. Students develop a break-even analysis of construction tasks in a project.
