请问，college毕业的，也可以做engineer吗？
不需要本科或硕士的文凭吗？

那个学校，那个专业？谢谢。

去年登陆后，我也打算念跟环境相关的专业，跟lz也有同问。在centennial program都选好了，教授都见了，就差最后交学费。幸好，遇到一个正在读这个专业的朋友，咨询后打消了念头。

原因比较简单，我当时选的是environmental protection，完全是转行。这边college里面环保专业大都侧重在水处理，水样采集和实验分析。

这样2-3年college program出来后，因为是college，也就注定找工作局限于entry level，你面对的就业竞争，一比不过local；二比不过那些之前有几年十几年本行经验的移民们。

不过一旦你能找到工作，尤其愿意去些偏远的地方，工作还是可以，因为水处理大都跟政府相关。都是在网上找到从事这方面的朋友讲的。

我放弃是觉得我的优势不大，而且环保跟我之前想的有较大差距。要是你原来就是学这行，有工作经验，在拿一个本地学历，就业应该还好。

Good luck

忘了提，college出来后，一般的title都是 lab assistant/technologist，能做到engineer的，我想还是因为之前的工作经验吧

ggghands · Aug 8th, 2006, 22:55

hehe...

I got a degree from U of W. My previous experience focuses chemical emgineering design and mangement, especially in petrochemical industry. There is a big difference between them. After all, the chemical engineering is the fundamantals of Environmental Engineering. Plus my poor marks in my university. that is only offer I can got so I chose the Env. Eng. At the beginning, I haveno idea in the job market. Even affter graduation, I just keep trying to send resumes to all companies I know. after 6 months, I got this job, in a consulting firm. What I want to say is the confidence is first important. The second is luck. Next is your experience and skills.
of course u have to know what you can do. If you choose ur career u have to do ur best to pursue it.

Brief for my company

In my current firm, all the people at the level of my position except me are college graduates and also local people.
I am not P.E now but I am sure I will be one year later. The people without degree need to upgrade their education and obtain this designation.

I have no idea in job searching for greenhand. But you have time cause you r young. U can study from the beginning. Otherwise,.....

The job market for water/wastewater , especially groundwater, engineering is much bigger than that for air quality.

If you got a degree here and have some experience and citizenship, USA is a good choice.

In my school, most researches are relevant to water. Only a couple of professors conducted researches in air.

As far as I am known, almost all graduates found a professional job. I mean Chinese.

So keep working and good luck

Thank you! ggghands. My professional experience in Canada focused on Air Quality Engineering. I have no choice!
I did very little on hydraulic design of wastewater processing plant in China. I am not sure it is useful for me to find a job in Canada.

你们用toxchem+吗？
每天都要blah blah，语言要求比较高吧？
你在这里拿了个master degree吧？
college的毕业生好找工作吗？

As I said before, the last thing to search a job is ur skills. So my E is really poor. Even now, I am seldom to talk. Most of time , calculating, writing, thinking....

My coworkers all graduated from colleges. I thought if you have experience and education, it would be no problem to get a job soner or later. What u need is luck.
So good luck!
