Built Environment Engineering Technology (BEET)
From roads and buildings to machines and robotics, students in the Built Environment Engineering Technology (BEET) program will gain skills in drafting, engineering, and design to create the products and places that move our world forward.BEET studies the built environment through three core disciplines: mechanical design technology, civil design technology, and building design technology. This program focuses on the fundamental theories and concepts in these core disciplines while learning and applying current technology so that graduates are prepared to enter a professional career as an engineering technician.
Mechanical engineering technology: Mechanical products and devices such as; process plants, machines, robots, tools, and all the “things” people use.
Civil engineering technology: Land development and infrastructure such as; roads, bridges, neighborhoods, parks, pipelines, and all the “spaces” connecting people.
Building design technology: Structures and buildings such as; houses, offices, stores, warehouses, schools, and all the “places” people live and work.
Students will learn to research, plan, design, construct, and test with considerations for the relationship between the built environment and the natural environment. You’ll also learn how to develop standard engineering and architectural technical drawings, use 3D modeling, scanning and printing, and design, code, and create products.
Creativity, curiosity, and a clear understanding of computers, mathematics, and physics is an asset to anyone entering the BEET program. BEET graduates can apply for membership in the Association of Science and Engineering Technology Professionals of Alberta (ASET).
DELIVERY OPTIONS
The BEET program is offered through flexible learning, which provides students the option to choose in-person or online learning, or a combination of both methods, for a highly customizable education experience.
