Course Requirements



Civil engineering technology students study a diversity of topics including structural analysis and design, hydraulics/fluid flow, and highway planning and design. Other courses include network scheduling, construction administration, finite element analysis, advanced steel design, advanced concrete structures and drainage design. The B.S. degree requires additional arts and sciences electives designed to enhance the employability of graduates. The program is designed to provide students with the necessary skills to pursue a life-long career in civil engineering technology. The B.S. in Civil Engineering Technology can be used as a stepping stone to a master's program and to a professional engineering license. Structural, transportation and construction are the primary areas of emphasis.
