Program Description
The Civil Engineering Technology program prepares students for opportunities in diverse professions including Civil Drafting/Design, Junior Construction Management. The AAS degree in Civil Engineering Technology prepares the student in the theory and application of civil engineering principles in civil drawing, civil design, construction engineering, geographic information systems (GIS) production, and field engineering. In addition, the program includes Survey and Mapping Technology coursework to prepare the Civil Engineering Technology graduate for a profession that integrates with the surveying profession. Desktop Mapping (Geographic Information, Systems - GIS), Construction Materials Testing, Construction Estimating and Inspection, and Surveying. These jobs can be found at the Department of Transportation, County & City Public Works, various private civil engineering and surveying firms, and civil construction companies.
Students learn these skills in classroom lectures; the Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) lab and field measurement with surveying instruments and the workplace internship. The coursework utilizes hands-on projects to simulate the work environment. All students are expected to develop and demonstrate positive work ethics, technical skills, interpersonal and communication skills as required by the industry.
This program also offers an AAS degree and a one year certificate in Civil Construction Management. Students completing the AAS or AAS-T in civil Engineering may obtain the AAS or a certificate in Civil Construction Management by completing the additional courses.
