Presentation
The University Bachelor of Technology (B.U.T) Civil Engineering and Sustainable Construction prepares students for careers in the building and civil engineering sectors, in both design and construction. Skills covered include all construction techniques, from foundations to super-structures, from stability to thermal and acoustic comfort, from choice of materials to construction techniques, from earthworks to engineering structures.
Objectives
The University BachelorUniversity Bachelor of Technology (B.U.T) Technology (B.U.T) Génie Civil Construction Durable (GCCD) is a three-year program designed to train multi-skilled executives to take responsibility for the design and execution of civil engineering projects.
The skills acquired are applied to the four major areas of civil engineering:
Public works (TP) : the local adaptation "Work on hazardous sites" is offered in this course.
Building work (BAT) : the local adaptation "Work on high-risk sites" is proposed in this course.
Engineering and design department (BEC)
Rehabilitation and improvement of the environmental performance of buildings (RAPEB) : the local adaptation "Architecture and heritage" is proposed in this course.
Skills
For all 4 courses, 5 skills are common to both University Bachelor of Technology (B.U.T) 1 and University Bachelor of Technology (B.U.T) 2:
- C1: Design technical solutions for all or part of a building project
- C2: Design technical solutions for all or part of a public works project
- C3: Dimension technical structures and equipment
- C4: Organize a public works site
- C5: Technically manage a structure throughout its life.
In University Bachelor of Technology (B.U.T) 3, certain skills are enhanced depending on the pathway:
- BAT pathway: C1/C4/C5
- TP pathway: C2/C4/C5
- RAPEB pathway: C1/C3/C5
- BEC pathway: C1/C2/C3
International dimension
Possibility of taking some of the skills covered in University Bachelor of Technology (B.U.T) at another university (Quebec)

Professional integration
Graduates of the University Bachelor of Technology (B.U.T) program can work in the following professions for large groups, SMEs and local authorities: site supervisor, project designer/draftsman, design office calculator, technical services manager...
In a design office, graduates will assist engineers in drawing up plans, specifications, programs and calculations linked to the design and preparation of a structure
On building sites, they will be responsible for execution, managing work and coordinating trades..
In test or research laboratories, they will be responsible for organizing, running and analysing experimental programs.
In management, depending on the company employing them, they may be responsible for all activities, or even create their own after gaining experience.
There are many job opportunities in the public and private sectors of building and civil engineering:
- Site supervisors,
- Coordinators or inspectors,
- Designers, Calculators in design offices,
- Engineering assistants,
- Managers in the technical departments of local and regional authorities,
- Technicians in testing and inspection laboratories,
- Technical sales representatives, etc.
