# EN1016 — Engineering Materials and Testing A laboratory course covering concrete theory and soil mechanics. Examines ready mixed concrete principles, versatility, strength, and sustainability attributes. Also covers soil mechanics theory, since soil is the most readily available construction material and all structures must be supported on soil or rock. Students learn theory behind common laboratory and field tests and perform related tests. | | | |---|---| | Code | EN1016 | | Hours | 84 | ## Part of these programs - [Construction Engineering Technician](/programs/construction-engineering-technician) - [Civil Engineering Technician](/programs/civil-engineering-technician) --- Source: [https://www.northerncollege.ca/course/en1014-engineering-materials-and-testing/](https://www.northerncollege.ca/course/en1014-engineering-materials-and-testing/)
