Civil Engineering Technology Civil
engineering technologists help civil engineers to plan and build
highways, buildings, bridges, dams, wastewater treatment systems,
and other structures, and to do related research. Some estimate
construction costs and specify materials to be used, and some may
even prepare drawings or perform land-surveying duties. Others may
set up and monitor instruments used to study traffic conditions.
Civil engineering technologists often work in support of civil
engineering activities including designing bridges, highways or large
complexes. They may assist in overseeing or monitoring construction,
evaluating materials quality, reviewing surveying or mapping, or
handling cost estimates and budgets.
Preparation
Those interested in a
career in civil engineering technology should consider reviewing engineering
technology programs that are
accredited by
ABET, Inc. If you choose to attend a program that is not ABET accredited, you should be sure that the university
is regionally accredited. Students take courses such as properties and strength
of materials, construction methods and materials, structural design,
structural analysis, and hydraulics and land development. The following is a current list of all universities
offering accredited degree programs in civil engineering technology.
