The student is required to complete a year-long, individual project relating to a planning issue. The project normally requires data collection, analysis, and presentation of the results in report format. When possible, the student works with an outside agency. In the past, these have included Parks Canada, private developers, municipal planning agencies, provincial departments, recreation departments, transit authorities, forestry associations, and environmental groups. Site Engineering Students are trained to solve a number of municipal and environmental engineering problems related to the location and servicing of land developments.
Emphasis is based on problem solving.
CAD is explored as a engineering design tool and for facility management. Environmental Design Site planning is the art of arranging man-made developments in an existing physical environment. The student selects an environmental design problem and is expected to apply research, data collection and analytical skills. The course provides three training components. The first component examines computer hardware management and maintenance.
