Program Description
The program will prepare students for immediate employment at the technical level in engineering design, drafting, surveying and construction. The program will provide theory and practice to move into the workforce with engineering consultants, surveying firms, state and local government, public works, construction companies, highway departments, and soil and material testing firms. The program will consist of two specializations, a general tract or surveying specialization. Students may choose to complete the either tract for an A.S. degree.
