The Civil Engineering Technology program prepares students for successful employment in the professional fields related to construction. These fields include architecture, construction, engineering, planning, design, and management. The program provides a broad engineering background for employment in industries that require knowledge of design, surveying, drafting, CAD, and estimating or as preparation for further study for a Bachelors degree at a college or university. Aspects of design, construction techniques, soils engineering, materials testing, and construction/project management are included in the curriculum. Design of residential and light commercial structures emphasizes the basic elements of design applying to a wide range of construction projects. Elements of roadway and transportation corridor design and layout are also covered. Graduates are successfully employed in the fields of design, engineering, contracting, and testing/quality assurance. Employment is generally found with private consultants, construction contractors, and local, state, and federal agencies or as successful entrepreneurs starting independent companies. Graduates enjoy an excellent placement record with challenging career growth opportunities including successful promotion into a variety of management positions in local industry.

Minimum grade requirements: Department courses shall be completed with a grade of “D” (63%) or better. A QPA of 2.0 must be achieved for graduation. To continue in the program, the math requirements listed below must be satisfied. Also, at the beginning of the third and fourth semesters, the student must have a QPA of 1.7 and 1.9 respectively. Failure to meet the academic standards will result in academic probation.

Upon successful completion of the program requirements, the degree of Associate in Science in Civil Engineering Technology will be awarded.

Civil Engineering Technology Program Goals
