The Pennsylvania School of Technology at Penn State offers a Civil Engineering Technology program for a bachelor's degree that will prepare you to find employment as a design technician, an engineering surveyor, engineering technician, inspector or a draftsperson. The curriculum of the program focuses on modern engineering practices with an emphasis on engineering studies and the planning, analysis and design of modern civil engineering and surveying projects. Some types of projects covered include structures, highways, hydraulic systems and site developments, and the courses also incorporate written and oral communication, problem solving, practical application and critical thinking.
Central Connecticut State University offers a Civil Engineering Technology program. The program will train you in the fundamental mathematics and technical science of civil engineering, and it will teach you to apply analytical techniques and problem-solving skills in your career, with regard to areas such as structural analysis and design, computer-aided design, applied mechanics, transportation, surveying, soils and hydrology. With a focus on planning, design, construction and cost estimates, the courses will involve classroom lectures as well as laboratory projects, experiments and demonstrations.
Fairleigh Dickinson University is the largest private university in New Jersey, and the school provides a B.S. in Civil Engineering Technology for prospective engineers. The curriculum of the program offers a combination of theoretical course work and laboratory work. However, the program website advertises itself as suitable for students who prefer hands-on laboratory experience over theory. The courses emphasize the application of science, mathematics and engineering principles to the development, innovation and improvement of current technology.
The Idaho State University College of Technology offers a Civil Engineering Technology program. The program can qualify you to begin your career as a technologist by certifying you with an Associate degree for Civil Engineering Technology or with an Advanced Technical Certificate for Civil Engineering Technology. The programs last four semesters, the school only admits 13 students per year, and the courses will require you to learn theoretical principles and technical knowledge and apply the knowledge to practical situations. With a focus on science, technology, charts and drawings, the curriculum will also train you to perform mathematical computations accurately, visualize shapes and forms from survey data, concentrate on the details to avoid mistakes and use sound judgment when planning designs or solving problems.
