Associate of Science in Civil Engineering Technology:  Surveying Option

Students in the Civil Engineering Technology program gain a solid background in structural engineering, material properties, soils, infrastructure and environmental factors. The A.S. in Civil Engineering Technology with the Surveying Option focuses on the application of surveying information to Civil Engineering projects such as water resources, sanitary sewers and property subdivision. Graduates are generally employed as entry-level professionals in fields such as construction and design of buildings, industrial facilities, roadways, tunnels, bridges, environmental projects, and land development.

The amount of time it takes for a student to complete the program will depend upon the individual student's course load. Most of the courses taken towards the Associate’s Degree in Civil Engineering Technology: Surveying Option (64 credits) may be applied 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.
