What are the objectives of the Civil Engineering Technology program at Sinclair?
In Civil Engineering Technology students are prepared to work as technicians in the planning, design, construction and operation of the built environment in our civilized world. ABET/ETAC accreditation assures high quality education in modern state-of-the-art laboratories with highly qualified faculty.
A strong background in basics of architectural and civil construction and in-depth study of advanced topics such as surveying, construction management and structural analysis prepares students to produce and utilize construction documents and perform basic design and analysis. The curriculum is designed to maximize articulation to four year programs emphasizing Civil Engineering Technology and Construction Engineering Technology.
Students who want to earn a Civil Engineering Science degree at a four-year university should consider the Engineering Science University Transfer program. This program allows two years of coursework taken at Sinclair to then be transferred to a university partner. Since each university differs slightly in program requirements, Sinclair students should meet with an Academic Advisor to ensure they are placed in the right courses for transfer.
