Associate in Applied Science Degree
Curriculum Code: 0178 (Effective Fall 2002 - Summer 2007)
Civil engineering technicians apply theory and principles of civil engineering
in planning, designing, and overseeing the construction and maintenance of
structures and facilities in the highway system. They may work at
construction or survey sites, offices or in testing labs with engineers,
surveyors, supervisors, managers, or skilled trade workers. The successful
civil engineering technician must have a working knowledge of college algebra
