Baccalaureate Degree Programs

Special Requirements for Majors

Students enrolled in the Department of Engineering and Technology who earn less than a "C" in any English, mathematics, sciences, or major course required in their curriculum must repeat the course during the next quarter that it is offered. Major courses are those courses offered by the department.

Major Comprehensive Examination

To satisfy the institutional requirements for a comprehensive examination, all students in Engineering Technology are required to take an exit examination administered by the Department.

Civil Engineering Technology

Accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.

The curriculum in civil engineering technology is designed to provide ample instruction in those areas of knowledge required for successful performance in the following capacities as well as in other construction related positions:

Architectural and Structural Draftsman and Designer - plans, designs, and supervises construction of frame, steel, and concrete structures; makes architectural inspections and appraisals for architects and builders.

Highway Engineering Technologist - collects and tests soil samples, concrete and other materials to ascertain their physical characteristics for use in highway construction; establishes the location and measurements of points, elevations, lines, areas and contours of land needed for highway construction and prepares hard copy, draft or computer generated drawings of same.

Estimator - determines quantities and costs of materials and labor required to erect structures.

Materials Tester - determines mechanical properties of materials used in the erection of structures and highways.

Surveyor - supervises, directs, and is responsible for the accuracy of the work of an engineering survey party engaged in determining the location and measurements of points, elevations, lines, areas, and contours on the earth's surface for purposes of securing data for building and highway construction, map-making, land-valuation, mining, or other purposes.

Environmental Technologist - Plans, designs, and monitors water, wastewater, and other environmental pollution control systems
