Engineering Technology 

Designing the future with AutoCAD 

When the Region of Halton began planning its replacement water 

and sanitary sewer system, Mohawk College's Denise Serafin was 

called upon for her technical expertise in computer aided design 

and drafting (AutoCAD). After creating a digital design of the multimillion-dollar 

infrastructure project, Denise went on site to ensure the 

project meets the needs of the Halton Region and one of its largest 

water and sanitary sewer users, the Oakville Trafalgar Hospital. 

Denise, working alongside Brent Hammond, Construction 

Supervisor for the Region of Halton, is the Program Manager and an 

Instructor for the Microcomputer Aided Design Certificate Program at 

Mohawk College. 

Her education and professional experience on this infrastructure 

project dates back to 1992 when Denise was enrolled in the 

Construction Engineering Technician Diploma program at Mohawk 

College. During her seven years working for the firm Consulting 

Engineers, Denise pursued her Certificate in Microcomputer Aided 

Design in 1996 and began teaching at the College that same year. 

"This is a fast-paced technology that branches out into virtually every 

discipline," she says. "Teaching allows me to keep fresh and current 

and I enjoy the time I spend with my students, especially when I see 

the smiles on their faces after they've learned something new."
