Civil Engineers perform a
variety of engineering work in planning, designing, and directing
construction and maintenance of structures and facilities such as roads,
railroads, airports, bridges, harbors, channels, dams, irrigation
projects, pipelines, power plants, water and sewage systems, and waste
disposal units. Work requires knowledge of engineering equivalent to at
least that acquired through completion of a 4-year college engineering
program.
Civil Engineering Technology
is a program that prepares individuals to apply
basic engineering principles and technical skills in
support of civil engineers who engaged in designing
and executing public works projects such as
highways, dams, bridges, tunnels and other
facilities. The study programs Include instruction
in site analysis, structural testing procedures,
field and laboratory testing procedures, plan and
specification preparation, test equipment operation
and maintenance, and report preparation.
