Civil Engineering Technology

Associate in Engineering Technology
Credit Requirements: 74 Semester Credit Hours
Day

The Civil Engineering Technology program prepares students to perform at the technician level in engineering design, drafting, surveying and construction. Employers of Civil Engineering Technology graduates include engineering consultants, surveying firms, state and federal governments, public works, construction companies, highway departments, and soil and materials testing firms. Graduates typically obtain jobs working under the supervision of engineers in land development, building inspectors, construction superintendent trainees, and soil and concrete testing technicians.

They aid engineers in the design of steel and concrete structures, highways, and storm drainage, sewage and water supply systems. They also obtain jobs as members of survey teams or in computer aided drafting and design. The program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, Md. 21202-4012, telephone 410.347.7700.
