Civil Infrastructure and Structural Design
Roll over image to zoom in
This program emphasizes practical hands-on infrastructure and building design in civil and structural engineering. All aspects of design, drafting, detailing and construction methods are taught in lecture format augmented by on-site field visits. Instruction in the current building code, construction practices, civil infrastructure and structural design standards and current computer drafting technologies ensure students will have the knowledge, skills and competency to enter this labor force immediately upon graduation.
