The DEPARTMENT OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT & ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGIES (CMET), (formerly
Construction Technology) provides distinctive educational programs and experiences in architectural engineering technology,
civil engineering technology, and construction management and engineering technologies to serve the educational needs
of the construction and related industries. This major industry includes a variety of large general construction firms, small
specialized contractors, materials suppliers, equipment manufacturers, and the design services of architects and engineers.
The wide choice of career opportunities includes project manager, project engineer, estimator, field superintendent, construction
scheduler, expediter, survey crew chief, materials technician, architectural/civil draftsperson, and cost engineer.
Each year, architectural, construction, consulting engineering, industrial, laboratory testing, materials supplier, and surveying
firms contact Purdue Calumet seeking associate and baccalaureate degree graduates for work in the Calumet Region and
in other parts of the country. This trend should continue since there are statistics that the present enrollment of project
managers, technicians and technologists will not meet the needs of this country for many years.

Associate of Science, Civil
Engineering Technology
(69 credits minimum)
The emphasis of the Civil Engineering Technology (CET) associate
degree program is to develop skills in the areas of drafting, surveying,
and materials, with an overall understanding of construction, contract
documents, and hydraulics and drainage. Graduates will have the
opportunity to continue study either full-time or part-time in the
Bachelor of Science degree program in Construction Management
& Engineering Technologies (CMET). This program does not lead to
professional registration in architecture or engineering.
