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.
