Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering Technology
Civil Engineering Technology
The Civil Engineering Technology curriculum is designed to give the student a thorough knowledge of the basic engineering science and hands-on experience and training in the application of fundamental principles in the analysis, design, and maintenance of civil engineering works. Students in Civil Engineering Technology have the opportunity to prepare themselves for a professional career in one of several areas into which the field is traditionally divided: structures, foundations, surveying, hydraulics, material testing, soil mechanics, and construction. Graduates of this program find challenging opportunities to pursue careers in a broad spectrum of fields including urban transportation systems, industrial and commercial building, pollution control systems, water development systems, and housing and urban planning.
Policy
Students of the Department of Civil Engineering Technology who satisfy the general requirements of the University and complete all the requirements of the University and complete all the requirements as listed in the curriculum which lead to the degree pursued are awarded degrees appropriate to their curricula. Students entering the department enrolled in Math 100 cannot enroll in EET 170 (Introduction to Engineering Technology) until a grade of at least a "C" is obtained in Math 100. Students entering the department are placed in a mathematics souse which is consistent with their proficiency in mathematics as determined by test result.
- A grade of "C" or better in major courses
- A grade of "C" or better in all ET courses;
- Engineering Technology majors are required to complete a Senior Project Course as well as earn a passing grade in the Fundamentals of Engineering Technology Examination (FETE)
