Civil Engineering Technology
Introduction
The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Technology was introduced in fall 1994 and is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC/ABET). The degree program is currently offered on campus during the day and evening for both full-time and part-time students.
Prior to the fall of 2010, this was an upper-division, transfer program only. Today, we offer a full four year program, while still meeting the needs of a strong transfer student body. Civil Engineering Technology graduates can expect to find positions in transportation, construction, structural and environmental areas with state and local agencies as well as architectural, civil engineering, and construction companies.
The B.S. degree in Civil Engineering Technology is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology. Graduates of the program earn six years of education/experience credit towards licensure in New York State as a Professional Engineer. After graduation, they are eligible to register for the next offering of Part A of the Professional Engineering examination, Fundamentals of Engineering. Structural, transportation and construction are the primary areas of emphasis.
-
Structural
Students choosing the structural emphasis are most often employed by engineering design firms, by design/build construction firms, or by local, state and federal governments. Coursework is provided in areas of structural analysis, building/structural design, conceptual to final design projects, and finite element analysis. -
Transportation
Students choosing the transportation emphasis are most often employed by county or city highway departments, by state or federal departments of transportation or by road/bridge construction contractors. Coursework is provided in structural analysis, transportation planning, design of roadways and bridges, and drainage design. -
