I'm deciding on taking this program sometime next year, and I've had a look at the FAQ, as well as the general information available on the Algonquin website. I like anything to do with designing, building, and planning; math isn't an issue for me. Anyone who is currently in the program, or has finished it recently, would you say it was challenging? Were the classes and the content interesting? What kind of schedule did you have?
For those who have graduated, would you recommend taking a third year for the Construction Engineering Technology program? I'm not certain if it's still available, because I couldn't find it when I checked before. There is also the Bachelor of Science (Building Science) which is an additional three years assuming you complete the Technician program first. Is it worth it to pursue the Honours Degree, or is a College Diploma enough to be comfortable in the workplace?
More in relation to the Technician program, there's co-op available. Would you recommend pursuing it? Does it help land a job afterwards, or at least offer some promising connections to the industry?
If you graduated and have landed a job, do you enjoy what you're doing? Is it very stressful? The wages for these jobs relating to the program seem to have a decent pay, but direct answers from graduates would always be appreciated!
Sorry about asking many questions, but I just want a good summary into what kind of outcomes this program brings, and any benefits.
