Civil Engineering Technology, Associate in Science Degree
Program Outcomes

Upon successful completion of all program requirements, graduates will be able to:

  1. run a total station instrument to measure a traverse, analyze and correctly adjust the data.
  2. design a road, both the vertical and horizontal alignment, and calculate the earthwork amounts needed to construct the road.
  3. perform standard ASTM tests to determine soil properties in order to evaluate how the sample will act in the field.
  4. explain basic soil mechanics with an emphasis on soil identification, consolidation, and basic foundation design.
  5. apply Bernoulli's equation to a wide range of fluid mechanics problems.
  6. use Manning's Equation to evaluate open channel flow conditions.
  7. determine the rainfall runoff under a wide range of conditions, using TR-55 and the rational method and compare the results.
  8. design a storm drain system for a small subdivision, including drawing the profile of the system and calculating pipe elevations and slopes.
  9. utilize the library and the World Wide Web to obtain design standards, current data, and applications.
  10. compare different materials and be able to select the proper one for use, based on its physical properties.
  11. analyze various structures to determine their load bearing capabilities.
  12. apply AutoCad and explain orthographic projection as it relates to standard board drafting.
