CIVIL TECHNOLOGY
South Campus
The Civil Technology program is geared to train civil engineering technicians for the construction industry. Civil Engineering technicians work in support of civil engineers and architects who supervise the hard hats engaged in this area of employment.
Civil technicians are employed in engineering and construction of highways, railroads, airports, bridges, harbors, irrigation works, manufacturing plants, high-rise residence and office buildings, and also work in the industrial and community water and waste water treatment plants.
This Associate of Applied Science degree in Civil Technology program may transfer to a variety of colleges. Please check with a counselor.
