BA/BS in Construction Engineering Technology/Technician

Construction Engineering joins the technical foundation of civil engineering with the practical side of building. Graduates are prepared to follow a project from its early design through to completion, working on public works including roads, dams, airports, tunnels and bridges. Three focus areas are available: water and environmental systems, building structures, and large-scale civil infrastructure. The major sits in the university's engineering college, is competitive, and is presently open to incoming first-year students only. Prospective students can join an admissions tour or information session, which are offered throughout the year, and a college recruiter can answer questions about the major. Academic advising, internships and research chances give students ways to connect classroom learning to later work. Anyone unsure about fit can compare the university's other majors before deciding.
