| Description | The Civil Engineering Technology curriculum provides the application of relevant theory of engineering needed by technicians to carry out planning and supervisory tasks in the construction of transportation systems, residential and commercial buildings, bridges, dams, and water and wastewater treatment systems. Coursework includes the communication and computational skills required to support the fields such as materials testing, structures, estimating, project management, hydraulics, environmental technology, and surveying. Additional coursework will cover the operation of computers and application software including computer-aided drafting. Graduates should qualify for technician level jobs with both public and private engineering, construction, and surveying agencies. |
| Award | The Associate in Applied Science Degree - Civil Engineering Technology will be awarded by the College upon completion of this program. |
