A Diploma in Civil Engineering is a sub-degree technical qualification, often taught at polytechnics, that trains civil-engineering technicians and supervisors. Students learn surveying, building materials and construction, structural mechanics, concrete technology, soil mechanics, hydraulics, estimating and costing, and technical drawing, with workshop practice and site training. In many systems it takes about three years after lower-secondary school or less after upper-secondary school, and it can allow lateral entry into the second year of a civil-engineering degree. Graduates work as site supervisors, draughtspersons and junior engineers.
