Civil Engineering Technology
Associate in Applied Science

Civil Engineering Technology is an exciting, diverse field with excellent employment opportunities locally, statewide, and nationally. Graduates are involved in all phases of the construction industry, from planning and design of buildings, bridges, highways, commercial and industrial facilities, to management and inspection of the construction process. Both men and women find rewarding careers with consulting engineering companies, construction companies, and governmental agencies, such as the New York State Department of Transportation or Broome County's engineering department.

The Civil Engineering Technology program is a modern educational program, incorporating state-of-the-art labs. More specifically, training in areas such as AUTOCAD 2000, GPS equipment, GIS software, and Microsoft Office 2000, are built into the curriculum. Students also have the opportunity to achieve ACI Certification.

The program is designed for immediate career opportunities; however, about 30% of the graduates transfer into Bachelor level programs, and receive full two-year transfer credit at a number of institutions.

SEQUENCE OF COURSES: This model is a two-year course schedule for students meeting all program requirements and deciding to pursue full-time study. Schedules will be redesigned for those requiring preparatory courses or those deciding to pursue part-time study.
