Program overview
A four year engineering degree in building services, covering heating and ventilation, plumbing and fire systems, energy modelling, building automation and paid co-op work terms, with applied practice running through the programme.
Cambridge Fountain Street is Conestoga’s engineering campus, and as a degree this is exempt from the field of study rule whatever its code.
Bachelor of Engineering in Building Systems Engineering is taught at Conestoga College Cambridge Fountain Street, a public Ontario college on the post-secondary institution list. Because the building systems engineering degree is a degree, it is exempt from the PGWP field of study requirement that applies to college level credentials. Conestoga records the building systems engineering degree under CIP 14.1401. That exemption lets the building systems engineering degree support a post-graduation work permit of up to three years whatever the subject.
