Civil Engineering Technology, A.A.S. (Spring 2012)
Civil engineering technicians use theory and practical application in planning, designing, constructing, inspecting and maintaining civil engineering projects. Job duties can include performing land surveys, creating civil engineering drawings using computer aided drafting, assisting engineers with design, and project management.
JCCC's civil engineering technology program offers a broad base of instruction in mathematics, engineering design, drawing interpretation, computer-aided drafting, construction methods and communication skills. The program will qualify graduates for a variety of entry-level positions in design firms, construction companies or public agencies. Successful completion of 66 hours from the civil engineering technology curriculum will lead to an associate of applied science degree.
