Bachelor of Engineering - Building Systems Engineering
Modern buildings are becoming more resource efficient, automated, environmentally and socially conscious, and sustainable through the integration of control-based and computerized building engineering systems. Are you interested in learning how to design, build, and automate these complex buildings and steer future innovations in building construction and management? This program might be right for you!
The Bachelor of Engineering - Building Systems Engineering (BSE) co-op degree program explores the present and future of modern buildings and their evolving operational systems. You will learn about specialized building automation, controls, thermodynamics, fluid and heat transfer, and design building mechanical, electrical and control systems to optimize energy performance. As a BSE student, you will extensively utilize digital design and building information modelling (BIM) software and virtual tools to integrate sustainable elements, controls automation, and systems into new and existing buildings, communities and cities.
Using a project-based approach, you will learn to solve real-world engineering problems and develop skills in project management, teamwork, and environmental protection. As you work on increasingly complex projects involving residential, commercial, and industrial building design, you will advance your practical technical skills by applying advanced technologies and your acquired theoretical knowledge.
The BSE program strategically integrates twelve months of paid co-op opportunities with your academic semesters. This industry experience, complemented by the eight projects courses, will prepare you for challenging careers related to the mechanical and electrical design of building systems, product development, building automation controls, renewable energy analysis, utility management, building operations and management.
Accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB), the BSE program provides you with the opportunity to apply for a Professional Engineering Licence (P.Eng.) upon graduation.
