Program Overview

Building Systems professionals see four walls as the start of endless opportunities. They help design mechanical systems for residential and commercial buildings. During our two-year program and industry work experience, you’ll learn how to create architectural drawings, as well as structural and industrial designs. From electrical, lighting, heating and air conditioning, to alarms and fire and water protection services, each new building needs a systems expert who imagines the bigger picture from the starting box on a page.

Career Possibilities

Graduates of this program could be employed as building services engineering technologists in the following fields: architectural, structural, electrical and mechanical systems, as well as industrial plant design. You could find yourself employed by engineering companies, contractors, manufacturer’s representatives and property managers.

Specific Considerations

Graduates of this program are able to assist in the design of mechanical systems (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, water services and fire protection) and electrical systems (power, lighting, communication, controls, heating, fire protection and alarm) for residential and commercial buildings. Graduates can also produce professional quality drawings primarily in the electrical and mechanical engineering fields, as well as architectural, structural and industrial design fields. Local campuses can provide information on courses that provide the prerequisites for technology programs at NBCC. Many universities give credits for courses completed in this program; however, assessment is normally completed on an individual basis.

This program is a "Learning Integrated Virtually Everywhere" (L.I.V.E) program that requires the use of a notebook computer as part of the learning experience. Your notebook computer should meet minimum technical specifications to ensure the software required for your program operates effectively.
