The Construction Engineering Technology degree (Bachelor of Science Engineering Technology) was created in 1979 to provide the construction program with an engineering concepts emphasis and to support industry needs. The Construction Engineering Technology program requires students to complete a strong core construction curriculum supported by engineering concept courses including statistics, mechanics of materials, concrete/wood/steel structures, foundation/soils, and temporary structures.
Students in the Construction Engineering Technology program have access to the SOC labs which include some of the best industry supported software and equipment. The SOC provides access to dedicated construction computer labs, a material testing/structures lab, a surveying lab, an equipment simulator lab, an electrical lab and a mechanical lab (plumbing/Heating-Ventilation-Air-Conditioning).
Students in the Construction Engineering Technology program are required to complete one paid internship prior to graduation.
Career opportunities are virtually unlimited with 100% placement for graduates seeking employment. Graduates are typically employed as project managers, project engineers, estimators, site managers, superintendents, field engineers, quality control/testing professionals, surveyors for a variety of companies including general contractors, specialty contractors, engineering firms, project owners, local/state/federal agencies.
