CET学生将学习在设计，施工和项目管理中实施当前的土木工程实践。他们可以协助设计和/或监督道路，建筑物，机场，水坝，桥梁以及供水和排污系统的建设。他们修读有关建筑材料，图纸阅读，勘测，应用结构设计，公路技术，土地开发和水力学的课程。土木工程技术利用工程基础知识和基本数学的应用来在设计，施工和项目管理中实施当前的土木工程实践。土木工程技术人员是四年制学士学位课程的毕业生，是一类独特的专业，其兴趣和教育已集中于土木工程的当前实践和技术创新。
CET students learn to implement current civil engineering practices in design, construction, and project management. They may assist with design and/or supervise the construction of roads, buildings, airports, dams, bridges, and water supply and sewage systems. They take courses in properties of construction materials, blueprint reading, surveying, applied structural design, highway technology, land development, and hydraulics. Civil engineering technology utilizes the application of engineering fundamentals and basic mathematics to implement current civil engineering practices in design, construction, and project management. Civil engineering technologists, graduates of four-year baccalaureate programs, are a distinct type of professional whose interests and education have become focused on both current practice and technical innovations in civil engineering.
