Civil Engineering Technology
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.
Civil Engineering graduates are typically employed as civil engineering technicians with private contractors, design firms, construction companies, state agencies or local municipalities; project managers or superintendents, building code inspectors or estimators. Average starting hourly wages have been approximately $15/hr with most students receiving multiple job offers. A solid background in algebra, geometry and trigonometry is recommended for successful completion of this program.
