Overview
The Construction Engineering Technology Program provides students with a well rounded education in construction, principles and practices in preparation for a career in the construction industry. Upon completion of this degree, students will be prepared for careers such as construction superintendent, field engineer, project manager, project coordinator, facilities engineer, cost estimator, CAD drafter and quality and safety controller. Additionally, graduates of the Construction Engineering Technology Program, with experience, interest and/or knowledge about specific construction trades, will be capable of performing in a large number of positions within those respective subcontracting firms.
Program Learning Outcomes
Students who have successfully completed this program will be able to:
- Effectively communicate through written, verbal and graphical media.
- Demonstrate knowledge of engineering science and mathematics and its application in problem solving.
- Understand the structural applications and analysis of construction systems and materials.
- Recognize ethical issues and apply professional standards in decision-making.
- Utilize appropriate computer tools to analyze and solve engineering problems.
- Apply modern methods for surveying and metrics.
- Exhibit a fundamental understanding of building mechanical and electrical systems.
- Demonstrate cost estimating and scheduling techniques.
- Integrate and apply field inspection techniques to meet safety standards.
- Understand and apply the principles of project management and control.
- Work effectively in a team environment.
Requirements
To receive a Bachelor of Science in Construction Engineering Technology, students must complete at least 180 quarter units, 76.5 of which must be completed at the upper-division level and 45 of which must be taken in residence, including the research project classes. In the absence of transfer credit, students may need to take additional general electives to satisfy the total units for the degree.
