Co-op Delivery and Fees
This program has a mandatory co-op, as part of the program of study. The annual co-op fee structure can be found on the Tuition and Fees page.
For questions, please contact the Co-op Specialist listed at the bottom of the webpage.
Driver’s License and Vehicle
Please note that the majority of co-op positions for this program require that students have a valid driver’s license ('G' class preferred) and access to a vehicle.
Co-op Work Term Locations
Please note that co-op work terms for Civil Engineering Technology - Transportation are typically in-person and/or hybrid and require extensive field work.
Co-op Designation
This program offers three co-op work term opportunities but requires two completed co-op work terms for the co-op designation.
Work Term Capabilities
(which do not reflect individual work experiences & exposures)
The student having completed three full semesters of study (typically in time for a Winter co-op) will have sufficient knowledge to perform the following tasks:
- Organize, conduct and analyze traffic field studies
- Prepare a signage and pavement marking plan in accordance with local guidelines (typically the Ontario Traffic Manual)
- Research various sources of information and prepare detailed inventories in the form of maps, charts, graphs and spreadsheets
- Undertake analyses of information such as capacity of uninterrupted flow facilities, parking activities, and public transit operations on a limited basis
- Produce a simple roadway geometric design task
- Evaluate transit planning decisions in relation to bus stops and network design
Having completed four full semesters of the including work experience program, (typically in time for a Fall co-op) gained in the first work term, the student will now be capable of undertaking more extensive assignments:
- Undertake analyses of information such as capacity of interrupted flow facilities and traffic/site impact studies using leading industry software (Synchro and InterCalc)
- Design pedestrian and cycling facilities in accordance with local guidelines (Ontario Traffic Manual and the Transportation Association of Canada Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads)
- Interpret the Ontario Planning Act as related to transportation engineering technology
- Undertake a roadway geometric design task in computer-aided drafting (CAD) software
- Understand the basics of construction management to initiate a simple project
- Prepare reports of a minor nature presenting a problem, alternative solutions, and recommended course action
After completing five full semesters of the program, (typically in time for a Summer co-op), the student will have acquired sufficient knowledge and specialized skill to perform the following activities:
- Perform a functional design of an intersection and a roundabout
- Undertake analysis of traffic signal progression along an arterial corridor using traffic capacity analysis software (Synchro or Vistro)
- Interpret the classic four-stage transportation planning model as applied to long-range transportation modelling
- Determine the transportation impacts of a proposed development; write a report documenting the findings and suggesting remedial measures to avoid degradation in the level of service
- Perform limited GIS queries and analysis
- Research a technical transportation topic and make a confident oral presentation in front of a large audience
