epCIP Committee

See the new epCIP website!

In 2004 CATT formed a committee to explore the idea of the development of a diploma program in buried infrastructure. The committee consisting of representatives from municipal, industry and consulting community developed the Educational program for Civil Infrastructure Professionals (epCIP) that targets the advancement of the skills of professionals in civil infrastructure by offering a series of high quality engineering courses that lead to a University diploma. This model is expected to fill the gap between University programs and industry short courses that are sometimes of questionable quality. All courses are designed to have contact hours, assignments, selected readings, and final examinations similar to engineering undergraduate courses. Course curriculum on which epCIP is based is developed by academics and industry practitioners that have expertise in the related field.

epCIP provides education distilled and packaged in a format for working professionals that is both accessible and manageable. Academics and recognized industry professionals will develop and teach the courses.  All courses must meet or exceed University of Waterloo standards. This program teaches the "why" as well as the "how" and provides education to engineers and related professionals that are timely and relevant to their sectors.
