Construction Engineering Technology Mission Statement

    MISSION STATEMENT

    It is the mission of the Construction Engineering Technology (CET) program to prepare students to obtain career positions as professionals in the construction and building industries where they will ensure quality in all phases of construction projects including:

  • The coordination of the design process.
  • The monitoring of the quality control of materials and workmanship.
  • The management of costs and progression of construction.


  • PROGRAM GOALS

    In order to achieve this mission, the goals of the program are as follows:

  • To provide students with a core of basic engineering theory and practice through realistic training and education that emphasizes the current practices used in the construction industry.
  • To educate students in the manner in which the earth’s natural resources are used as components in the construction industry.
  • To educate students to gain the knowledge in construction requirements and management skills in order to have the ability to assist in the supervision and management of projects in the industry.
  • To fulfill the changing needs of local business and industry for qualified employees in the areas of construction technical sales, materials testing, surveying, construction contracting and building and infrastructure design.


  • RELATED PROGRAM OUTCOMES

    In support of the goals of the program, each student successfully completing the requirements for a Degree in the Construction Engineering Technology program will possess the following educational outcomes:

  • Effective communication skills related to the construction environment though the proper usage of oral, written and graphic techniques.
  • A development of mathematical skills sufficient to solve and analyze technical problems associated with construction projects including building, highway and heavy construction.
  • The ability to demonstrate a thorough knowledge of common construction methods and design procedures associated with building, highway and heavy construction projects.
  • The ability to demonstrate a thorough knowledge of common construction materials- both their proper usage and proper testing procedures.
  • The ability to demonstrate the capability to develop architectural and engineering drawings for construction projects, including working, presentation and shop drawings.
  • Proficiency in the use of computer graphics associated with civil and construction projects.
  • An understanding of working drawings for residential, commercial, highway and heavy construction projects.
  • An understanding of codes and specifications in the implementation of building and highway projects.
  • Proficiency in the use of surveying equipment to collect data and lay out projects to solve engineering problems.
  • An understanding of the mechanics of structural design.
  • A development and understanding of the proper management techniques of construction projects relative to budget, schedule, organization and contractual obligations.
