Civil Engineering Technology students are introduced to a variety of coursework covering drainage and erosion control, statics and strength of materials, materials testing, site design and site surveying, as well as CAD and GIS software suitable for performing common workplace objectives. Students working in their field of study, with access to equipment and software, may also have opportunities to earn credit for course lab objectives by submitting workplace generated material in lieu of attending scheduled on campus labs.

Graduates also have transfer opportunities to pursue B.S. degrees at UNCC (Civil Engineering Technology), ECU (Industrial Technology), and NC A&T (Geomatics).
