Advantages

• Curriculum developed with Industry.
• Strong connection to the construction of civil works.

Program Student Learning Outcomes

• Utilize principles, hardware, and software that are appropriate to produce drawings, reports, quantity estimates, and other documents related to civil engineering.
• Conduct standardized field and laboratory tests related to civil engineering.
• Utilize surveying methods appropriate for land measurement and/or construction layout.
• Apply fundamental computational methods and elementary analytical techniques in sub-disciplines related to civil engineering.
• Plan and prepare documents appropriate for design and construction.
• Perform economic analysis and cost estimates related to design, construction, operations, and maintenance of systems associated with civil engineering.
• Select appropriate engineering materials and practices.
• Perform standard analysis and design in transportation, water and development.

Program Educational Objectives

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

• Apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the civil engineering technology discipline.
• Design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the civil engineering technology discipline.
• Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.
• Conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes.
• Function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.

Occupational Opportunities

• Civil Engineer Technician
• QC/QA Engineer Technician
• Project Engineer
