Testimonials

	Fiona Sharman Civil Engineering Technology Class of 1991 “I’ve always liked playing in the dirt so entering into the civil engineering field seemed natural to me. Working for a small but busy company has been a great experience because I’m often able to see a project through from start to finish. I love that I’m not chained to a desk just doing one thing – my job includes everything from proposal and report writing, AutoCAD, field investigations and inspections, to lab work and materials testing. It’s extremely rewarding to be able to say that you’ve literally been a part of building your community.”
	Steve Taylor Civil Engineering Technology Class of 1995 “I highly recommend the program to anyone considering a career in the civil/mechanical engineering technology field”.
	Jan Bath Civil Engineering Technology Class of 1996 “The Civil Engineering Technology program at OC provided me with a diverse skill set and gave me the background I needed to launch a multi-faceted career”
	Ilonka Kern Civil Engineering Technology Class of 1997 “If it was not for the education received at OC I would still be unhappy and unchallenged in a dead end job with minimum wage. So for me, an education = better opportunity, satisfying job and more money”
	Bill Mahoney Civil Engineering Technology Class of 1997 “While I was consuming copious amounts of coffee and stressing out over assignments and exams, I never dreamed where all this torment would lead me. It has led me into a role where I am responsible to forecast, plan, coordinate and implement the City of Kelowna’s Wastewater Utility capital replacement and sewer trunk installation programmes. I still drink copious amounts of coffee and am now tormented by schedules/deadlines and other construction issues. Never a dull moment in Civil Engineering”
	Richard Ferrier Civil Engineering Technology Class of 2000 “This OC technology program has provided for me the knowledge and tools for an exciting new career in Civil Engineering”
	Laura Reid Civil Engineering Technology Class of 2002 “Civil Engineering is a great field. There are plenty of job opportunities and a variety of exciting areas of work from drafting and design to the field and lab. There is so much potential to learn and grow in this field. What I like best is you are able to see the product of your work and really feel like you’re contributing. It’s a great way to be part of our changing world”
	Bret Christensen Civil Engineering Technology Class of 1995 ”Without the quality education from OC, I wouldn’t be where I am today. The Civil Engineering Technology co-op program at OC enabled me to gain valuable work experience while learning.”
