Bring on one or more students from Saskatchewan Polytechnic in the Engineering Design and Drafting Technology program to work virtually, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one or more projects of your choosing over the work term period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.
Students are available for a work term starting January 4 and ending April 30, 2021, with a flexible start date as late as February 1, 2021.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, student placements will initially occur virtually. And we request that students complete a minimum of 320 hours either full time or part time. Students can complete up to 600 hours of work for your company.
We request that some form of compensation is provided to the student. We are seeking paid experience via stipend, honorarium or hourly pay but are open to discussing unpaid opportunities as well. Typical hourly wage would be $18-25/hour.
Learners
Deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the project. The student should complete a minimum of 320 hours with your organization.
Details on deliverables are provided in the section above: Updating as-built plans, amending legal plans, and preparing RPRs.
The Canadian Technology Accreditation Board has granted the Engineering Design & Drafting Technology program National Accreditation. Graduates of EDD Technology may apply to provincial associations for membership as certified Technologists throughout Canada, and will be granted recognition of education requirements.

Project Examples
Requirements
Projects that students can complete will vary depending on your company's needs. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the work term, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.
Students have training in current industry standard CAD software to design and produce engineering projects in 2D and 3D environments. Concretely, students are able to:
- Update “as-built” plans for all types of residential, commercial, and municipal building sites: Interpreting and uploading data from Excel sheets submitted by a client to indicate specific details. Students are able to update the drawings to indicate exactly, and specifically, the information required
- Amend legal plans: Making changes to drawings based on information from the surveyors which indicate where underground services are buried and their proximity to roads, property lines, etc.
- Prepare Real Property Reports (RPRs): Doing drawings to reflect details on properties about exact location of buildings (based on information submitted by the surveyors). As legal plans, they may be needed to satisfy regulatory requirements
- Analyze and utilize SAP programs where necessary
- Create and modify drawings: Using Auto-Cad for the mechanical and geographic applications
