Civil Engineering Technology

The Civil Engineering Technology Curriculum 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 quality for technician-level jobs with both public and private engineering, construction, and surveying agencies.

Because the use of computers is integral to this curriculum, some courses are delivered in an online format.

Transfer Arrangements

We have a 2+2 transfer path with UNC Charlotte whereby you can take the first two years at Sandhills and transfer into the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Technology program or the Bachelor of Science in Construction Management program.
