CET Degree Requirements 2004-2005

CIVIL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM 2004-2005
Department of Engineering Technology

The specialized fields within civil engineering technology include programs in civil engineering technology and surveying. The Surveying Program is a separate, specialized four-year program. The individual curriculum requirements are listed separately. The degree awarded to civil engineering technology graduates is a B.S. in Civil Engineering Technology.

Civil engineering technology graduates apply engineering principles in performing many of the tasks necessary for the planning and construction of highways, buildings, railroads, bridges, reservoirs, dams, irrigation works, water systems, airports, and other structures. In planning for a construction project, they may participate in estimating costs, preparing specifications for materials, and in surveying, drafting, and design work. During the construction phase, they work closely with the contractor and the superintendent in scheduling field layout, construction activities, and the inspection of the work for conformity to specifications. In recent years, a major work area for civil and environmental engineering technology has involved environmental problems. This includes design and construction of water supply facilities and the design of wastewater collection and treatment facilities. The development of environmental impact studies and environmental impact statements are also included.

Students must meet the following curriculum requirements for the various degrees, minors, and concentrations.

The program coordinator must approve all technical electives. All students who are considering a major in civil engineering technology are expected to consult with CET faculty for advising.

All majors in civil engineering technology are required to complete all civil engineering technology courses, mechanical engineering technology courses, surveying courses, MTH 1410, MTH 2410, MTH 2420, COM 2610, PHY 2311, PHY 2321, PHY 2331, PHY 2341, and CHE 1100 with a grade of "C" or better.

Under revised rules and regulations of the Colorado State Board for Registration for Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors, students within 30 semester hours of graduation may take the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination.

This program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, Maryland 21202, (410) 347-7700.

If considering graduate school studies in engineering or physical science, students are encouraged to elect the mathematics minor
