This program prepares students for employment as a CIVIL ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN. Civil engineering technicians help civil engineers to plan, design, and build various infrastructure projects (e.g., highways, bridges, utilities, etc.) as well as commercial, industrial, residential, and land development projects. Civil engineering technicians work in offices and at jobsites, assisting engineers and surveyors. Activities include reviewing blueprints, preparing maps and proposals, testing, and data collection/reporting. Employment is available in private industry and at local and county government agencies. The skills learned in this program are also essential job skills for civil engineers and architects, so transfer students are encouraged to take this coursework as well. Some of the courses in the program may articulate to university engineering or engineering technology programs. Note that many university engineering programs may not have these job skills courses as part of their regular curriculum. NOTE: This is only a sample plan, please meet with a counselor about your educational goals.
