Civil Engineering Technology is the oldest of the engineering disciplines, having existed from before the time of ancient Greek and Egyptian Civilizations to the present time.
Forecasts indicate it to be a vocation of high employment in future years.
The program provides a solid background in mathematics and engineering principles along with technical knowledge that will enable graduates to understand and solve the varied engineering problems, which they will encounter in their professional life. Applicants to this program should note that Civil Engineering Technology and Architectural Technology Programs share a common first year. Theory and technique are covered in courses involving structural design, municipal technology, geotechnical investigations, foundation engineering, hydrology studies, hydraulic design, environmental technology, materials testing, highway design, computer applications and construction management and supervision. The area of study is broad and as a consequence, offers much freedom of choice in pursuing a career in Civil Engineering Technology. With experience, the Civil Engineering Technologist can expect to play a role in the supervision of engineering personnel on the job site or in the design office.
