Degree Transfer Guide


Seneca Program: Civil Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology – Building Sciences

Degree: Bachelor of Technology, Civil Engineering Infrastructure Technology

Students are required to have a minimum cumulative average of 80 percent in their Advanced Diploma for the Civil Engineering Infrastructure Technology stream and will be eligible for 60 units (two years) worth of advanced standing. If you have a cumulative average of between 70 and 79.9 percent, please contact us to discuss the alternate pathway that may be open to you.

A flexible evening and weekend class schedule allows students to work while they study, either in an existing career path or in a co-op work term organized with help from the McMaster Faculty of Engineering Co-op & Career Services team.

Students not working full-time may register in four to six courses per academic term (e.g. September to December) but are strongly encouraged to register in no more than four courses per academic term due to the heavy workload in the B.Tech. courses. We recommend full-time students budget two-and-a-half calendar years (seven semesters) to complete the program. Individuals working full-time should register in no more than two to three courses per academic term, with an average program length of three to four years.
