Civil Technology, A.A.S.


Civil Technology (310)
Associate in Applied Science Degree

This program prepares students for employment in the fields of surveying, civil construction, bridge inspection, construction inspection, cost estimation, and civil drafting, and enables them to pursue a career of lifelong learning. Skills are developed in mathematics, science, problem solving, communication, computer-aided drafting, surveying, mechanics, and construction. Computer-aided drafting is an integral part of this program. A graduate of this program seeks employment as a civil drafter, surveying technician, estimator, and civil engineering technician with civil engineering firms, construction firms, private consulting engineering firms, governmental agencies, and surveying firms.
