Building and maintaining the critical infrastructure of today’s
society demands both technical insight and hands-on experience. Students
pursuing the Civil Engineering Technology program gain a solid
background in structural engineering, material properties, soils,
infrastructure and environmental factors.
The amount of time it takes for a student to complete the program
will depend upon the individual student's course load (how many courses
they take each semester). Earning the Associate's Degree in Civil
Engineering Technology (68 credits) may be taken as a benchmark towards
the
Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering
Technology (124 credits). Some of the courses taken toward this
degree program may also be applied toward a related
certificate program, allowing
students to earn an additional credential as they pursue their degree.
Suggested Program of Study - Total Credits: 68
For students who entered the program in or after September 2009
The following degree program outline, which lists 2 to 3 courses each
semester, is only a suggested course load. First-year students should
not take more than 1 or 2 courses their first semester. Subsequent
course loads may be determined by the student’s own personal time
constraints.
