You’ll also become familiar with building materials, construction methods, structural design, mechanical and electrical services, building codes and zoning by-laws, contracts, specifications, and the business environment for providing design and construction services.
Co-op Option

This experience not only allows you to put classroom learning into practice, but will also provide valuable contacts for your future career.
