Construction Engineering Technology

The program in construction engineering technology includes a well-designed balance of theoretical and laboratory studies, providing students with a broad knowledge of civil engineering technology and the construction fields. This field is expanding rapidly, and our technical curricula will give you a broad-based education, as well as the hands-on skills and experience needed for leadership in today’s construction business.

Advantages

• The college offers testing and certification with the American Concrete Institute that students can earn their first semester. 
• Students develop the ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team, as well as the ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both technical and nontechnical environments.

• The AAS program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Construction Engineering Technology and Similarly Named Programs.

A student who completes the AAS degree can complete the bachelor’s degree in two additional years.

Program educational objectives were established with the assistance of the Industrial Advisory Committee and are reviewed periodically. The construction engineering technology program produces graduates who:

Alfred State construction engineering technology graduates may enter directly into either the construction management BS, the construction supervision BTech, the civil engineering technology BS, the interdisciplinary studies BTech, or the technology management BBA degree program.

Employment and continuing education rate of 100 percent – 33 percent are employed; 67 percent continued their education.
