To be
accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)
The primary objective of this
program is to provide the basic technical theory, principles,
and practices to enable the graduate to work in the construction
industry. Opportunities may be available with testing firms,
materials suppliers, specialty contractors, construction safety,
subcontractors, homebuilders, general contractors, land
surveyors, and inspection service bureaus. The program is
intended for a student planning on immediate employment as an
engineering technician, but when the concentration is accredited
by TAC/ABET it will provide a 2+2 transfer to a baccalaureate
program.
Career Opportunities
Construction Estimator, Construction Inspector, Construction
Materials Testing, Construction Supervision,
Contractor, Project Planning, Surveying, Construction Safety
In the
Construction Engineering Technology concentration, there are a
total of 64 semester hours required. A grade of ‘C’ or better
is required in all courses that are specified for the major.
The only exception is the elective courses. There is an
approved list from which the humanities, social/behavior
science, and technical elective courses can be selected. The
following table summarizes the degree requirements.
