Industrial and Engineering Technologies and Engineering Transfer
Civil Engineering Technology graduates play a major role in the design and construction of airports, bridges, highways, pipelines, and water and sewage systems. They can become professionally licensed land surveyors, steel detailers, construction superintendents, cost estimators and public works technicians. To perform this work, civil engineering technicians must possess knowledge and skills in such technical areas as surveying, drafting, estimating, use of construction materials and use of computers.
This program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
Special Requirements
Students are required to purchase an engineering pocket calculator and a set of drawing instruments at an approximate cost of $120.
Graduation Requirements
In addition to college graduation requirements, a minimum GPA of 2.0 is required in all AET, CET, EGR, EGT, MET and EET courses.
