The Civil Engineering Technology program Why study Civil Engineering Technology at SPSU? Southern Polytechnic's Civil Engineering Technology program has the highest enrollment of any four-year Bachelor of Science CET program in the country. Our facilities are among the best, with extensive computer and testing laboratories. Our graduates meet the educational requirements needed to seek registration as professional engineers in Georgia and most other states. About the program The Civil Engineering Technology program at Southern Polytechnic State University prepares students for a number of specialized careers in civil engineering. We stress standard design practice and incorporate laboratory experience into the majority of our courses, providing our students with the theory and practice required to move rapidly and successfully into the work force. The program encompasses several technical fields, which include:
The Civil Engineering Technology faculty are highly qualified and combine solid industrial experience with their expertise as teachers. Most of the faculty are registered professional engineers or registered land surveyors. Are there learning opportunities outside the classroom? Opportunities exist for co-op, summer and part-time employment. Many students also compete and perform well in regional and national competitions sponsored by our four student clubs: the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Surveying and Mapping Society of Georgia, the American Concrete Institute, and the Institute of Transportation Engineers. What can I do with a Civil Engineering Technology degree? With a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering Technology, you can work as a civil engineer, project engineer, site engineer, project manager, surveyor, or estimator. Our graduates accept positions with federal, state, and local governments, construction companies, engineering consulting firms, and surveying companies. Others pursue graduate study at such schools as the University of Tennessee and Clemson University. Will I find employment? Civil engineering technology graduates are highly recruited by industry professionals. Industry demand greatly exceeds the number of graduates. In Marietta, residential and commercial development abounds, fueling the need for Civil Engineering Technology graduates. |
