Southern Polytechnic State University graduates have the qualifications to enter careers in construction, structural design, transportation, hydraulics, site planning, and environmental technologies. A student may select electives among speciality areas in Environmental Control, Structures, Surveying and Transportation. A speciality in Environmental Control will enable a graduate to pursue a career in planning, analysis, and design of systems to correct or control the pollution of air, land, or water.
Many opportunities exist with municipalities, industry, consulting firms, and government agencies.
Graduates specializing in Structures are prepared for positions involving the design, plan preparation, construction, and inspection of modern buildings and bridges. In their course work, assisted by both mainframe and microcomputers, students analyze loads and stresses on structures, design foundations, and design structural members of steel, reinforced concrete, and timber. The Transportation speciality provides an opportunity to develop an understanding of this broad field which deals with the design and maintenance of all types of transportation facilities including streets, hiways, mass transit systems, railroads, airfields, ports, harbors, and pipelines for the transport of gas, oil, water, and various other commodities. The Surveying speciality can enable the graduate to pursue registration as a Professional Land Surveyor and pursue a career involving boundary, topographic and GPS surveys as well as residential subdivision design and construction. Bachelor of Science in Surveying and Mapping Surveying and Mappping is a new academic program offered by the CET Department and approved by the Board of Regents in September 1996.
