CIVIL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY
The Civil Engineering Technology Curriculum at Sandhills Community College provides the application of relevant theory of engineering needed by technicians to carry out planning and supervisory tasks in the construction of transportation systems, residential and commercial buildings, bridges, dams, and water and wastewater treatment systems.
Course work includes the communication and computational skills required to support the fields such as materials testing, structures, estimating, project management, hydraulics, environmental technology, and surveying. Additional course work will cover the operation of computers and application software including computer-aided drafting.

Graduates should qualify for technician-level jobs with both public and private engineering, construction, and surveying agencies.

Civil Engineering & Surveying students visit Las Vegas and Hoover Dam.
