About the Program
The Bachelor of Engineering - Building Systems Engineering (BSE) program is the newest engineering degree offering in the School of Engineering and is delivered at the honours level. This degree program is unique in Canada as it relates to the complex and ever-changing world of buildings and will allow you to start down the path to pursuing a professional engineering career through licensing with Professional Engineers Ontario. It is geared to motivated individuals looking for challenging careers in building systems, energy and utilities management, building operations and facility management.The program is delivered using a project-based learning environment, where students will find solutions to real-world problems developing the ability to see the big picture and concurrently trade-off engineering, environment, business, societal, and other requirements to optimize and tailor the project solution to the design requirements. Students will study topics such as: lighting, heating, energy, water management, law and building codes. They will design building systems for new smart buildings, but also study retrofitting and applying new technologies to older buildings.
Students will have the ability to participate in a total of twelve months of co-op enhancing their skills to be job-ready. Co-op work terms are strategically scheduled to allow students to take advantage of the Professional Engineers Ontario pre-graduation work experience. There is an identified gap in the marketplace and graduates are needed to design, commission and manage systems for ultimate energy and cost savings of the building and the comfort of the user.
The opportunity exists for students who have completed a related advanced three-year diploma program to bridge or transfer into the second or third year of this program.

Financial Assistance
The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is a needs-based program designed to help Ontario students cover the cost of post-secondary education. Funded by the federal and provincial governments, OSAP is intended to promote equality of opportunity for post-secondary studies through direct financial assistance for educational costs and living expenses. These interest-free loans are intended to supplement your financial resources and those of your family. The majority of students apply for loan assistance via the OSAP website. Students can also print the application booklet through the OSAP website.For more information, please visit Financial Services/Awards.
Co-op Information
- Co-op programs add value to your education. Earn while you apply what you learn in a real workplace environment. See the Co-op webpages for more details.
- The College cannot guarantee co-op employment. All co-op students are required to conduct an independent co-op job search in addition to the supports and services provided by the Department of Co-op Education.
- Students are responsible for their own transportation and associated costs in order to complete work term requirements. Work locations may not always be readily accessible by public transportation.
- Students who do not secure the first work term by the start of the work term semester will be offered the option to enrol in the 14 credit Career Management in Canada GCM70000 co-op alternative. This co-op alternative involves one 3 hour on campus session per week and 12 hours per week of online and out-of-class activity.
- If GCM70000 is selected, the student must attend sessions from the first session of the term and cannot complete a co-op term for their first work term.
- GCM70000 may be delivered at the Doon, Waterloo, or Cambridge campus.
- GCM70000 is only an alternative for the first co-op work term of the program, students will still complete at least one mandatory co-op work term if they choose GCM70000.
Graduate Opportunities
Graduates will be employed in the areas of building systems design, product development, energy and utilities management, building operations and facility management. Graduates will be eligible to pursue their professional engineering license with Professional Engineers Ontario. Graduates will be eligible for post-graduate programs nationally and internationally similar to comparable university B.Eng. and B.A.Sc. accredited engineering programs.For more details on related occupations, job market information and career opportunities, see the Government of Canada website: https://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home
Pathways & Credit Transfer
Conestoga pathways enable students to build on their academic achievements in order to earn a degree or additional credential. Pathways are formed through agreements between Conestoga programs or partner institutions.Often applicants have earned credits from another college or university that may allow a student to be granted advanced standing or exemption. Learn more about credit transfer opportunities at Conestoga.
Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR)
Conestoga recognizes prior learning of skills, knowledge or competencies that have been acquired through employment, formal and informal education, non-formal learning or other life experiences. Prior learning must be measurable at the required academic level and meet Conestoga standards of achievement for current courses. Challenge exams and portfolio development are the primary methods of assessment. Other methods of assessment may be available depending upon the nature of the course objectives. Successful completion of the assessment results in an official course credit that will be recorded on the student's Conestoga transcript. PLAR cannot be used by registered Conestoga students for the clearance of academic deficiencies, to improve grades or to obtain admission into a program.Learn more about PLAR.
