South
Associate of Science

This program prepares students to support civil engineers, architects, consulting engineers and contractors in a variety of applications such as structural drafting and design, public works, construction, inspection, transportation, surveying and environmental engineering. Students learn sustainability technology, technical problem solving and material testing which enables them to pursue careers as civil engineering technicians, CAD drafters, construction materials testing, land surveyors and surveying technicians.
