Degree Information
Civil Engineering Technology B.S.
This curriculum is designed to equip graduates to face the challenge of modern engineering practice. The major emphasizes applications-based engineering studies involving the planning, analysis, and design of civil engineering/surveying projects. Modern approaches to the planning, analysis, and design of highways, structures, hydraulic systems, and site development will be emphasized. This technical instruction with modern instrumentation, hardware and software will be reinforced with foundation courses emphasizing written and oral communication, and physical sciences. All the instruction is presented with problem solving in mind and strong emphasis on applications and critical thinking. The major prepares students for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, which is the first step in the process for registration as a professional engineer in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
