CET ABET PEO's and SO's
Construction Engineering Technology Program Educational Objectives:
Graduates will possess the necessary skills;
- critical thinking;
- discipline; and
- work ethic to enter the A/E/C industry fully capable of performing entry-level tasks
consistent with the expectations of employers.
PROGRAM CRITERIA - Program Educational Objectives
Graduates of associate degree programs will, to the extent required to meet Program Educational Objectives:
- a. utilize techniques that are appropriate to administer and evaluate construction
contracts, documents, and codes;
- b. estimate costs, estimate quantities, and evaluate materials for construction
projects;
- c. utilize measuring methods, hardware, and software that are appropriate for field,
laboratory, and office processes related to construction;
- d. apply fundamental computational methods and elementary analytical techniques
in sub-disciplines related to construction engineering.
In addition, graduates of baccalaureate degree programs will, to the extent required to meet the Program Educational Objectives:
- e. produce and utilize design, construction, and operations documents;
- f. perform economic analyses and cost estimates related to design, construction, and
maintenance of systems associated with construction engineering;
- g. select appropriate construction materials and practices;
- h. apply appropriate principles of construction management, law, and ethics, and;
- i. perform standard analysis and design in at least one sub-discipline related to
construction engineering.
