programs<br />
of study<br />
Program Description<br />
The Architectural <strong>and</strong> Civil Engineering Technology Program prepares<br />
individuals to become technicians who are capable of translating the innovative<br />
concepts of the professional designer or engineer into functioning<br />
systems <strong>and</strong> structures. In this translation the language of codes, working<br />
drawings, specifi cations, <strong>and</strong> con struction are used. Through a combination<br />
of classroom study, assigned projects in the CAD lab <strong>and</strong> field activities,<br />
students become skilled in the Architectural <strong>and</strong> Civil Engineering<br />
Technol ogy fi eld. Focusing upon commercial structures <strong>and</strong> industrial<br />
buildings, students develop a familiarity with materials <strong>and</strong> the basic concepts<br />
of structural design, mechanical systems for build ings, cost estimating<br />
<strong>and</strong> surveying. The application of computers to the design field is an<br />
integral part of the curriculum.<br />
The Architectural <strong>and</strong> Civil Engineering Technology Program pro vides<br />
students with the opportunity to earn an Associate in Applied Science<br />
Degree.<br />
The Architectural <strong>and</strong> Civil Engineering Technology Program is accredited<br />
by the Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc., 111 Market<br />
Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012 Telephone 410-347-7700<br />
<strong>and</strong> has been since the initial accredita tion in 1984.<br />
Career Opportunities<br />
Graduates of this program typically accept positions with architec tural<br />
fi rms, engineering offi ces, structural or fabrication depart ments in industrial<br />
plants, contractors, l<strong>and</strong> surveyors, building materials supply firms,<br />
<strong>and</strong> municipal or state engineering offices. Graduates are often afforded<br />
advanced st<strong>and</strong>ing when electing to further their education at other colleges<br />
or universities.<br />
