Degree: Associate in Engineering Technology
Major: Civil Engineering Technology
Minimum Credits for Graduation: 77
Program Description: The Civil Engineering Technology (GET) associate degree program prepares students to perform at the technician level in Civil Engineering. Students are provided training in design, drafting, surveying and construction techniques, CET graduates employment opportunities include surveying firms, engineering consultants, materials testing firms, state and federal governments, construction companies, and highway departments. Typically, graduates obtain jobs working as members of survey teams, in computer aided drafting and design, or as assistant engineers in the design of steel and concrete structures. Working under the supervision of engineers as land developers, building inspectors, and construction superintendent trainees, soil and concrete testing technicians, highways, storm/sewage drainage technicians, and water supply systems technicians, Civil engineering Technicians provide a valuable resource to engineering.
-
Students applying to the Civil Engineering Technology associate degree program must supply the following documentation before registering for courses:
-
An official copy of high school transcripts or Graduate Equivalency Diploma (GED) transcripts. A certificate of completion will not be accepted as a substitute for a high school diploma or GED.
-
All candidates for the CET associate degree program must take the COMPASS/ASSET placement evaluation unless they have official college transcripts with a "C" or better in College Algebra (MAT 110) and English Composition I (ENG 101).
-
Official transcripts must be sent from the issuing College directly to the Admissions Office at TCL via the mail.
-
A copy of the high school or GED transcripts, COMPASS/ASSET placement evaluation, and/or college transcripts must at the TCL Admissions Office before a student can register.
