Diploma [Building Systems Engineering Technology] From Vanier College

This program gives students the expertise necessary to design heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R;) systems in modern buildings. Graduates are able to design and maintain those systems as well as the necessary control mechanisms, in order to have healthy, comfortable environments in all types of buildings. Students apply theory and principles of engineering to develop, operate and test the electrical, lighting, plumbing, and fire protection systems along with the HVAC&R; operations of any modern building. As part of their program, students do internships with various companies, and visit large mechanical systems such as those of the Biodome, Complex Desjardins or Place Ville Marie.
