Engineering Technology, Civil Concentration
The Associate of Applied Science Engineering Technology program provides students with an entry point into the exciting world of engineering technology applications. With a focus on a heuristic approach to technology, this program appeals to students who have an understanding of technical concepts but a desire to work with technology in a more hands-on applied manner than engineering programs. The Engineering Technology program has three concentrations to allow students to tailor their educational path to their specific interests. The concentration areas include Civil Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology and Mechanical Engineering Technology.
The Associate of Applied Science degree in Engineering Technology, Civil Concentration (AAS-ETCET) prepares graduates for employment in construction, water resources, public works, structural detailing and design, environmental studies, mining development and related fields. The program stresses materials, surveying, structures, water resources, soil mechanics, construction and highways. Graduates are prepared to support various areas of civil engineering. Typical assignments include preparing plans, field/lab testing of construction materials, layout and inspection of construction projects and mining development as well as performing basic design calculations in highways, structures, hydraulics/hydrology and soils.
